You’re invited to a community workshop to identify the natural, cultural, and historic assets that make our town unique. We are hosting 3 upcoming workshops to gather information for an interactive map highlighting a range of assets that have shaped the character of our community—and we want your ideas and input.
The purpose of the workshops is to gather valuable information about the natural, cultural, and historical assets in our community. This initiative is designed to bring together local residents, stakeholders, and experts to identify and document the unique features that make our area special. By focusing on our natural landscapes, cultural traditions, and historic landmarks, we hope to build a comprehensive inventory that will support future planning, preservation, and educational efforts.
What to Expect
During the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to share their knowledge, insights, and stories about significant places, events, and traditions. We encourage everyone to contribute, whether by highlighting well-known sites or drawing attention to lesser-known treasures. The information collected will help us recognize what we value most as a community and ensure that these assets are respected and maintained for generations to come.
Your input is essential to this process. Together, we can create a stronger, more connected community that celebrates and safeguards its rich natural, cultural, and historic heritage.
