MILTON - Moose Mountains Regional Greenways (MMRG) is teaming up with the Stewardship Network: New England and UNH Cooperative Extension (UNHCE) to offer a free training workshop on March 25 for volunteer monitors of conservation easements.

The indoor/outdoor session will be taught by UNHCE Natural Resources & Land Conservation Field Specialist Emma Tutein and Charlie Bridges, former administrator of the Habitat and Wildlife Diversity Program of the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. Conservation Commissioners, land trust volunteers, private landowners, and others interested in gaining the skills to steward and monitor conserved lands are all welcome to attend.

Tutein encouraged participants, "The most fun thing about this workshop is getting to spend some time outside testing new skills. Participants will learn about what an easement is and how to read one, how to read a survey map, best practices for annual monitoring of conservation easements, and a quick primer on using a compass as it relates to survey maps.

Following a couple of hours of indoor training at the Community Church in Milton, the group will head outside to nearby private conservation land, where they will walk through the process of monitoring an easement with survey map in hand."

The workshop is scheduled 9 a.m.-2 p.m. and is limited to 25 attendees. Participants should bring their own lunch and water bottle and wear clothes and footwear appropriate for hiking. Pre-registration is required at MMRG's website calendar at www.mmrg.info for the registration link and an informational flier or go directly to http://newengland.stewardshipnetwork.org/events-training.
