Collaboration and participation of multiple stakeholders is a critical component of the Natural Features Focus Area Project. In May we hosted a series of public meetings to discuss the Focus Areas in the northeastern portion of the county.  In October and November we hosted meetings to discuss the Focus Areas in the southern and eastern portion of the county.  These meetings included small group discussions organized by Focus Area.  The Focus Areas discussed at each meeting were based on the interests of participants.

Click on the links below for a summary of these discussions.
