For
great food and great stories, the Weathersfield Land Preservation
Association (WLPA) invites everyone to a potluck and storytelling
celebration of land on 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.
