Up to 20 people will be chosen to tell what matters
in their communities during workshops in both Port Angeles and Port Townsend
later this month.

The North Olympic Peninsula workshops are part of a
series that will help to build a series of community maps of important places on
the Olympic Peninsula, said Kelly Biedenweg, with the Institute for Culture and
Ecology, which is sponsoring the workshops along with the Pacific Northwest
Research Station of the National Forest Service.

The Port Angeles
workshop will be at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 20.

The Port Townsend
workshop will be at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 21.

The locations will be
provided to participants upon registration, Biedenweg said.

"We are
seeking area residents with diverse perspectives," she said.

Planners
from federal and state land management agencies, as well as tribes, counties,
cities and other public and nonprofit organizations will use the information,
she added.

"Understanding more about the areas and resources Peninsula
residents value and use can inform planning and decision-making," Biedenweg
said.

"Mapping will also allow residents to identify shared values and
resource areas that are important to communities."

Participants will
"share ideas about places that are important for economic, recreational,
spiritual or other reasons.

"These might include places that you visit
with your family, hike or ride ATVs or use for logging, mining, hunting,
fishing, collecting berries or other forest products," Biedenweg
said.

"They might also include places that you feel have historic
importance, have scenic beauty or that you feel are important for your spiritual
or emotional health."

Each workshop is limited to 20
participants.

To join one of the workshops, e-mail Biedenweg at [email-masked] or phone her
at 206-883-5612.

I wonder if they had one of these workshops prior to doing
away with the public fishing pontoon on The Hood Canal Bridge.
