Partners in Stewardship
Many different entities, both public and private, are property owners of land encompassed by the Abbott Marshlands. This makes coordination of Marshlands stewardship a challenging task. Since the 1990s Stakeholders have been working together to protect and preserve the area. Between 2008 – 2010, these partners worked together to develop a cooperative plan for the entire marshlands. An outcome of the plan was to create the Abbott Marshlands Council. The Council, established in 2011, meets quarterly to identify key cooperative stewardship goals and provide a regular forum for exchange of information.
For additional details, see the latest version of our Cooperative Stewardship Plan for the Marshlands.
