Sligo Stewards Program

Sligo Stewards hold workdays and plan projects in 12 different sections of the eight-mile Sligo Creek plus its tributaries. They are the eyes and ears of FOSC in Sligo Creek and park. See the list of current stewards and the openings for new stewards on the Sligo Stewards page. As a new steward, you will play an important role in protecting and strengthening the creek and our communities, with as much support as you need from current stewards. Please indicate your interest via the Contact form or email [email protected].
