Land stewardship

Collection of stewardship initiatives, both public and private, existing in Catalonia

The stewardship inventory of the territory is a collection of stewardship initiatives, both public and private, existing in Catalonia. It has been published by the Network for the Conservation of Nature since 2003 and with a periodicity of 2-3 years, thanks to the disinterested collaboration of the custodians, who provide the necessary data for its elaboration.

The main objective of the inventory is to analyse the current situation and the temporary progression of the movement of land stewardship in Catalonia. It is aimed mainly at land stewardship entities and public administrations, but also at other third sector entities, owners and managers of rural properties, as well as citizens interested in nature conservation.
