Come share your ideas for making Lincoln City a better place to live and work, while hearing what 25 community leaders from all walks of life had to say during a recent 18 month “Listening Tour”.
We asked three simple questions….this is what we heard.
1) What are you or your organization doing now within the biosphere?
2) What are compelling and urgent issues / topics facing your organization or the biosphere reserve community generally?
3) What resources could be brought to bear to address these issues / topics to make the biosphere reserve a better place to live, work and play? (For humans and non-humans!)
Bonus: What do you think of when you hear Cascade Head Biosphere Reserve?
Join us to learn more and lend your voice to HELP SHAPE LINCOLN CITY’s FUTURE.
Saturday March 26th at the Lincoln City Cultural Center.
