This study investigated the Conservation Stewards Program (CSP), a pilot program developed during 2004-2006 by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Michigan State University Extension. Study methods included quantitative measures and qualitative feedback via pre- and immediate post-program questionnaires. The CSP had 65 participants, with a 97% program retention rate, and with an 85% (n=55) response rate to this evaluation. Overall, the CSP achieved its goal of attracting traditional and non-traditional stakeholders to participate in the program. Respondents were motivated to attend the CSP for learning about ecosystems, natural resources, and conservation practices. A positive shift in respondents' knowledge of ecology, attitudes toward the state wildlife agency, attitudes toward specific resource management techniques, and connection to the land occurred. CSP respondents believed they were most prepared to access information about wildlife, plants, or habitats and had a high interest in long-term, complex, volunteer opportunities such as habitat restoration. All but one respondent indicated the program was beneficial to them. CSP respondents reacted favorably to the experience, suggesting program coordinators were successful at implementing adult education best practices for environmental education. These knowledgeable volunteers wishing to engage in complex ecosystem management activities may be an asset to wildlife management agencies in achieving their objectives.
