Stewardship refers to the responsible management and care of resources. In a broad sense, it means taking responsibility for something and managing it in such a way that preserves its value and benefits future generations. This can apply to natural resources like land or water, as well as cultural resources like art or history. Stewardship involves making careful decisions about the use of these resources, with an understanding of their importance and potential consequences for the environment and society. It requires a sense of responsibility towards something that is not owned by you but is entrusted to your care.
