The Dennis Conservation Land Trust acquires and preserves open space in Dennis and promotes sound conservation practices while working with others who share common interest and values in preserving land and the quality of life.
Volunteers monitor designated DCLT properties at least twice annually. Land Stewards record evidence of property use, maintenance needs, any potential abuses of the conservation land, and wildlife and plant observations. Land Stewards report directly through the DCLT website using the monitoring report form and communicates with Tyler Maikath, the DCLT Outreach and Stewardship Coordinator.

Volunteer Osprey Monitor
Volunteers locate and monitor assigned nesting locations throughout Dennis. Volunteers record data about the nesting locations, the physical conditions of the structures, and nesting success. By monitoring Ospreys, we can ensure their conservation and protection, as well as identify structures that may need repairs or replacing. Please contact Tyler Maikath, the DCLT Outreach and Stewardship Coordinator, at [email protected] for more information.
