For great food and great stories, the Weathersfield Land Preservation Association (WLPA) invites everyone to a potluck and storytelling celebration of land.
Thursday evening, September 18, 6 pm, at the Weathersfield Center Church.
Join
us to celebrate and raise awareness of the land, its many functions in
our communities and good stewardship, no matter what we do on the land.
Why bring people together to celebrate time on the land?
Land and land use can be something to celebrate, but it is also sometimes contentious.
For
example, hikers might complain about mountain bikes eroding their
trails; fishing folks might complain about pleasure boats; real estate
people and builders might complain about land owners who restrict
building to preserve fields and forests; … the land could tell lots of
stories of contention, but with some recognition of each other’s’
priorities and of good land stewardship, we can preserve a sense of
place, understanding that others have a sense of place as well. So our
purpose is to celebrate the land and hear each other’s stories about our
time on the land.
