-To propose meetings and contacts with Aragonese administrations and entities in order to make land stewardship known and to look for collaboration projects.

Land stewardship is a tool for social and environmental innovation that seeks to conserve nature and biodiversity.
To this end, it promotes agreements and collaboration mechanisms between landowners and land stewardship organizations.
These agreements are always voluntary and are intended to be a complementary tool to the management and protection of the natural environment developed by the administrations.
