The Stewardship Institute is based within an extraordinary landscape at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park in Vermont. Through the three generations of conservationists reflected in its name, the Park tells the story of conservation history and the evolving nature of land stewardship in America. As a model for preservation and sustainability, the Park offers inspirational meeting spaces for groups to gather, roam the carriage paths through the forest, tour the historic buildings and gardens, and easily walk to local accommodations in the town of Woodstock.
But if you can't get to Vermont, we'll come to you! The Institute is grounded at the Park yet its scope is national, with partners around the country and connections around the world. Participants and programs reach throughout the National Park Service and its partnering network.
