Snapshot Stewardship

One JCPRD Within a forest, the layer of debris above the soil returns nutrients to the system as it decomposes. Extreme events, such as a flood that leaves the soil saturated will slow the process of decomposition. Within the JCPRD ecosystem, the Stewardship element functions as a litter layer. As assets age, consistent care ensures JCPRD amenities are able to positively contribute to the health of the system. Following the economic downturn, this function was reduced and annual maintenance and replacement schedules were extended or unachievable. Additional funding will be required to stabilize maintenance programs and balance the initial investment in resources with the long-term care needed to realize its full return.
