Stewardship

Stewardship is “the careful and responsible management of something entrusted to one’s care.” As residents, landowners, visitor, or business owners around Taunton Bay we all have a part in caring for this fragile estuary.

Friends of Taunton Bay has created the below resources to provide detailed information, links to references, and action steps that you can use to preserve the health of the bay and watershed. For a paper copy of the 24-page Stewardship Guide, contact us through the box below.
