STEWARDSHIP COMMITTEE
OUR CHARGE
The Stewardship Committee oversees the Minnesota Valley Chapter’s property– the land and the house. It is our goal to make the house and property a reflection of our values and a model of green living.
POLICIES
We write and develop policies for the use of the property. This includes guidelines for conservation and service projects on the property.
PROJECTS
We maintain a list of projects that will increase the sustainability of the house and the property. In the past, this has included the installation of solar panels, insulation, and energy-efficient windows. Moving forward we are upgrading our appliances to heat pumps, rain gardens and maybe even a grey-water system!
LEAVE NO TRACE
The MN Valley Chapter is a community partner of Leave No Trace. Leave No Trace is a set of outdoor ethical principals. They are a guide for minimizing our negative impact on the world. The Stewardship Committee is conscious about following these principles in how we engage with the property.
JOIN US
The Stewardship Committee is chaired by Board Member Suryash Rawat. We are open to all Chapter members. We meet monthly. To get involved email Joseph Barisonzi, the Chapter Caretaker: jbarisonzi@iwlamnvalley.org
