We are pioneers in reaching agreements on land stewardship in Catalonia. Land stewardship is a tool we use to conserve the natural and cultural values of land in collaboration with private owners and local bodies. This is applied in different ways with each owner and/or manager and in each space, but it has some overall common factors: communication, trust and collaboration. We work with these aspects to make the uses and activities in spaces under land stewardship compatible with conservation of the natural values of the land in the long term. Currently, thanks to land stewardship, we manage more than 700 hª distributed in different spaces, both in river environments as well as agricultural and forest. Many of these spaces are private property, although some are public, such as the Sebes and Flix Meander Wildlife Nature Reserve, which we manage. We at the Grup de Natura Freixe have been members of the “Xarxa de Custodia del Territori” (Land Stewardship Network in English) since its foundation and we also form part of the “Grup de Treball de Custodia Fluvial” (River Land Stewardship Working Group).
