Vision:
XCT expects its consolidation towards 2011 as an umbrella organisation, with a stable working team, guaranteed budget and good management practices. XCT has to be te meeting place for a growing and structured sum of public and private land stewardship organisations, as well as other organisations and individuals aimed to promote land stewardship in Catalonia and its geographical surrounding. It will be an organisation with a public impact to contribute to the social and institutional recognition of land stewardship, to create a wide and influencing group, with appropriate funding, to work by landowners and land users wanting to participate in land stewardship.
