Stewardship
The Trust views its conservation lands as a legacy for area residents and we consider stewardship of these lands as our basic responsibility.
Each Director is a Steward for one or more of the Trust's properties and is responsible for developing and implementing a specific management plan for that property.
For example, trails must be cleared, marked and maintained; fields mown; and shorelines, marshes and wooded areas cleared of debris.
While the Directors do some maintenance and volunteers make a huge contribution, services such as clearing fallen or dead trees or mowing fields must be contracted out to professional vendors.
Every year the Trust invests in maintaining our properties so they are safe and beautiful for those who visit. The cost of good stewardship is steep. Please make a donation in support of our stewardship program …even a small donation makes a big difference.
Donations made to CCT are 100% tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
Donations help support our stewardship efforts such as trail marking. Pictured left are CCT board members installing new trail markings in Great Brewster Woods.
Volunteer Stewardship
The CCT benefits greatly from the efforts of groups such as the Boy Scouts, the Cohasset High School Community Service Class, and the First Parish Unitarian Universalist Church project 'Keepers of the Earth'.
We are grateful for their volunteerism.
Pictured above are volunteers from this year's Earth Day Cleanup with a small amount of the flotsom and jetsom collected on Bassing Beach.
