For Stewards

Let the land speak. Let others join your care.

Why Join Found Ground?

If you care for land, you know the work is mostly invisible; trash gets picked up, trails get cleared, fires prevented, species protected. Few visitors see that work, and even fewer know how to support it.

Field Tokens change that. When a visitor taps one, they’re not just saying “I was here.” They’re entering a relationship, with the land and with you.

What You’ll Receive

  • Installed Steward Field Tokens for trailheads or landmarks
  • A live steward profile on the Found Ground map
  • Real-time logs of reflective or anonymous visits
  • A direct support button (PayPal, Stripe, Venmo, or contact form)
  • Optional analytics: tap counts, peak days, and more

Low-tech, low-maintenance tools that create high-trust visibility.

Who Can Apply?

  • Local parks & preserves
  • Land trusts & conservation nonprofits
  • Private landowners offering public access
  • Trail associations & friends groups
  • Cultural, historic, or spiritual landscapes

If the land matters and you care for it, you’re eligible.

Cost & Access

No cost to apply. During the initial rollout, Acre & Oak provides Steward Tokens to approved sites free of charge.

Future phases may offer install kits at cost or via micro-grants and community sponsorships.
