Web site technology and the vast library of environmental information found online has made creating a Valley Environmental Manual, as part of our web site, a priority for the Planning Group. And with the environmental challenges and changes facing us today it is a necessity. Besides providing the latest environmental information that impacts our Valley, bonuses will include no costs for printing or postage and a web site intern program to make regular updates.
The Community Center RESOURCE GUIDE sent in the mail (March 2011) will continue to include some updated environmental articles of the past. The online Planning Group’s VALLEY ENVIRONMENTAL MANUAL will include some of these same environmental articles but they will change and expand as needed. Think of these as companions — jewels to be savored, to learn from, to enjoy.
What would you like to see included? Do you have an area of expertise? Join us in the growth of this unique resource. Finally, here is the one, the only, the FIRST . . .
