Easement Monitor

Keeping the Trust in compliance with state monitoring requirements is a crucial behind-the-scenes task that relies on a committed team of core volunteers. Every farm protected by an easement must be monitored annually to ensure that it remains in compliance with easement restrictions. As an Easement Monitor you would be asked to travel with a partner to tour and document participating farms and prepare a written report to be kept on file in the office.
