During the first week in February, stewardship professionals from around the region met at Five Valleys' Rock Creek Confluence Property for a day-long retreat.  More than twenty participants, some from as far away as Washington and Idaho, gathered to discuss challenges, successes and the future of their organizations' stewardship programs.

The group was inspired to get together to share, discuss and brainstorm around the similar issues that the many varying organizations often face with their stewardship programs. Storytelling, technical advice, hiking, and even a campfire made it into the day's agenda.  A strong feeling of camaraderie made the day extra special. 

Due to great the turnout and meaningful discussion, the group decided that a second annual stewardship day retreat is in order. Five Valleys' stewardship team is looking forward to it!
