All of these, and more, require our care as they need upkeep, investments, engagement and preservation by all of us for future generations to enjoy.

Tip for viewing the YouTube recordings: These workshops contained an introduction, then shifting to instructions on the breakout sessions, where then the audio stops, skip ahead until you hear the table results being presented. This is repeated for two additional breakout sessions, with a closing wrap-up presented by Nore Winter at the end of each of these Workshops. We've provided some images from these sessions below, including the anticipated (or target) timeline for the next steps.
