Land stewardship is a conservation strategy based on voluntary agreements between landowners, specialized organizations, and, in some cases, public administrations, to protect and sustainably manage the natural, cultural, and landscape values of a place.
To facilitate understanding and support the dissemination of this approach in Galicia and Northern Portugal, we have compiled useful and accessible resources for all audiences in our Resources section: videos, guides, and a glossary of terms.
