You will also learn the duties and safety factors of stewardship. We conduct the training at a historical or pre-contact site, so you get hands-on experience.

What do stewards do? Why is it important? You have heard a lot about the ASCO stewardship program, and you may wonder what we do and why do we do it. The stewardship program began in the 1990s and is still one of ASCO’s most important programs. We steward over 60 sites in a 5-county area, Klamath County, Lake County, Jefferson County, Crook County and Deschutes County. We work with archaeologists in the US Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management. We are currently partnering with BLM to map and record homestead sites in the Plainview area. ASCO has the only stewardship program in all of Oregon. Stewards do important work. We monitor vulnerable historic and pre-contact sites on a regular basis and report any damage or concerns to our agency archaeologists and the ASCO stewardship coordinator. We play a vital role in the preservation of Central Oregon sites. If you have questions about the ASCO Stewardship program, please contact me.
