1. About CASSP
The California Archaeological Site Stewardship Program (CASSP) is a statewide program, directed by the Society for California Archaeology. Volunteers attend a two-day training workshop before they become site stewards. Site stewards work in their local areas, in teams coordinated by a professional archaeologist who works for the land management agency responsible for the sites.
CASSP volunteers regularly visit assigned sites on public lands and report on their conditions to their local coordinating archaeologist, who works for the land management agency responsible for the sites. By consistently monitoring the sites, problems are detected early, when they can more easily be corrected.
Teams of CASSP volunteers work with the Bureau of Land Management, California State Parks, and the National Park Service. We gratefully acknowledge the Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreaction Division of California State Parks for their significant financial support of CASSP.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) specifies the goals and responsibilities of agencies and organizations that participate in CASSP and support its activities. Download MOU (size 12 K) in Adobe Acrobat PDF format.
The CASSP newsletter keeps site stewards and other interested parties informed of program events and volunteer activities. Download past issues as Adobe Acrobat PDF files. The newsletter is free; you can receive it by sending a request with your mailing address to bpadon
