4 Page 4 Introduction The Dennis Department of Natural Resources would like to thank you for your interest in the Land Steward Program. This program is committed to protecting and conserving the natural resources of the Town of Dennis for public access, enjoyment, and use by current and future generations. Without the assistance of volunteers (such as yourself) this goal would be unattainable. Dennis is home to historic and breathtaking landscapes that attract visitors year-round. Land Stewardship and conservation is crucial if we are to protect and preserve these natural resources. By becoming a Land Steward you are demonstrating your commitment to make a positive and meaningful impact on the fragile environment within your own community. This manual will provide the information necessary for you to begin your journey as Land Steward. Please feel free to contact us at anytime should you have any questions or need any assistance. Thank you for your service, Dennis Department of Natural Resources "Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure." John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day
