More than one-third of Maine's forest land is owned by people with lots ranging from ten acres to a thousand. Even if you own just a few acres, you're the steward of a complex ecosystem that sustains Maine communities, people, plants and animals.

Stewardship is a frame of mind, a set of principles, and an approach to owning and managing land and resources. Stewardship can be defined as taking care of the land for the long term, and leaving it better than you found it. Sometimes, though, even the best intentions need a little help to get going.
