      We know that some people have had problems accessing similar
      presentations when trying to enter from their company's servers

             The Stewardship Network - pulling together for nature!
          The Network was established in 1998 to build the capacity of
                           organizations, individuals,
      and private businesses to preserve, restore, and manage natural lands
                                   and waters.
        Since its inception, the Network has collaborated with nonprofits
                                    large and
         small, governmental agencies and units, private businesses, and
                                    dedicated
                        individuals to achieve that goal.

        The Stewardship Network connects a broad range of groups, rallies
                                   volunteers,
       and fills the gaps in today's preservation efforts. Every day we're
                                     out on
      the land - making connections, providing hands-on training, building
                                 relationships,
                sharing tools, and passing along new information.
                                      Why?
        So that the many groups and individuals that protect our natural
                                      areas
                          can become even stronger and
                                 more effective.

          The Network brings expertise in natural areas management and
                               community building
      to increase the effectiveness of organizations, agencies, businesses,
                                       and
                   individuals doing on-the-ground management.
