Family Stewardship

San Juan Mountains Association now proudly presents the Family Stewardship Program. In this program, families work together to train and to monitor historic and prehistoric archaeological sites. Our goal, at San Juan Mountains Association, is to develop in youth the appreciation for irreplaceable natural, cultural, and historic resources that have shaped our corner of the state. This program will help to train the next generation of preservationists. Families will work together to learn the protocols and procedures of site stewardship. Young people trained today will be the leaders in protecting archaeological sites in future generations.

Do you know of a youth, age ten or above, who might be interested in making a difference in the future of these culturally and historically important sites? The Family Stewardship Program requires the following:
· Age 10 or above
· A parent, or other adult, who will work with the youth
· Two days of training
· Visitation of adopted site about once each month
· Commitment to the project for a year or more
