Junior Stewards Program
We have launched a program to engage kids in Forest Stewardship. We have over 30 kids signed up and would love to have lots more. Kids can earn stamps in the LCP Junior Steward Passport which can earn cash and prizes at the end of summer and on into the future. To register or get a passport contact Vicki Lopes, Program Coordinator, at [email protected] or text her at 702-327-8511. Here is a list of Challenge instructions that will earn Passport stamps:
Challenge 0 – getting started

Challenge 2 – native plant species
Challenge 3 – invasive plant species
Challenge 4 – growing your Family Tree
If you have any difficulties with this web page or any general feedback, please send it to me, Frank Coker, at [email protected].
