Welcome: A New Chapter in Civic Stewardship

Civic stewardship

We're thrilled to launch Steward of Things — a platform built on a simple but powerful idea: everyone can be a steward of something.

Whether it's a park bench you walk past every day, a tree you planted with neighbours, or a community garden you help tend, your care matters. But too often, that care goes unnoticed. There's no record of who watered what, no way to see how a shared space has been looked after over time, and no recognition for the quiet, consistent effort people put in.

What Steward of Things Does

Steward of Things changes that. With our platform, you can:

  • Track your stewardship — log activities, record observations, and keep a history of care
  • Earn badges and recognition — your community sees what you've done, and you build a visible record of impact
  • Join communities — connect with others who care about the same things in your neighbourhood
  • Use smart sensors — where available, IoT sensors provide real-time data on the things you're looking after

Why Now?

The world is facing environmental challenges at every scale — from global climate change to the local decline of green spaces. But solutions don't always have to be grand. Sometimes, they start with one person choosing to care for one thing.

Steward of Things is here to amplify those small acts, connect people who care, and build a movement of community stewardship powered by technology and driven by heart.

Welcome aboard. Let's steward something together.
