2006 Site
Steward and Volunteer Opportunities
People who
lend their time, energy or land are
the heart and soul of any Trail
system. Read on for
opportunities to get further
involved in the growth and
maintenance of the Lake Champlain
Paddlers' Trail! Please check
the appropriate boxes to indicate
your volunteer interests.
Volunteer site stewards are a
crucial part of Lake Champlain
Committee’s (LCC) stewardship of the
Lake Champlain Paddlers’ Trail (LCPT).
Stewards adopt one or more Trail
sites to visit frequently during the
paddling season, using their own
boats. Although each site has
unique monitoring and stewardship
needs, stewards will generally check
site conditions on each visit, help
keep the site in good shape, and
make notes of what they observe on
site steward checklist sheets. LCC
will meet with and in some cases
visit sites with new stewards.
Periodically, stewards will come
together for workdays and site
steward forums to discuss issues
that arise on the Lake Champlain
Paddlers’ Trail.
The various sites on the Trail
differ in their stewardship needs.
Certain locations, such as those at
the more developed state parks, have
regular staff on site and are
vigorously managed. Other public
and private sites offer primitive
camping, and are not staffed at
all. As use of the LCPT increases,
so does the importance of having a
committed group of volunteer
stewards.

If
taking on stewardship of a site is
more of a commitment than you are
able to make, there are several
other opportunities to volunteer
that require less of an obligation.
Some current projects are noted
below.
