Voices of the Land: Our Antos Farm Volunteers

Behind the Scenes: Stewardship Day

Our local lands thrive because of the dedicated hands that tend to them. In this special five-minute feature, 12-year-old volunteer Fiona takes us behind the scenes of our very first stewardship day at the Antos Farm Sanctuary on Marsh Road.

Fiona captures the incredible energy, hard work, and joy of our 20 volunteers who braved the summer heat to prepare the land for our upcoming celebration.

“We had a massive amount of work to do today, but our stewardship volunteers jumped right in to tackle it. From the youngest participants, eager to help, to seasoned volunteers who shared their expertise, it was truly a collective effort.”

— Heather Radcliffe, DCLT Vice President

Fiona’s video brings you right into the heart of the action, blending lighthearted interviews with visual highlights of this community effort. Through her lens, you will see:

  • Fun Q&As: Quick, engaging questions that reveal the personalities of our volunteers.
  • The Big Cleanup and the Transformation: A montage of photos and videos showing the crew’s hard work and a before/after comparison.

“The energy today was incredible. At DCLT, we believe that stewarding our land is a sacred duty and one of the most important parts of our mission.”

— Liza Moran, DCLT President
