Organizing For Preservation

Forming a local nonprofit preservation organization is not an easy process. It requires careful planning, the right combination of dedicated citizens, and ability to evaluate properly the needs of the community, a talent for motivating people, and effective communications with the public. It is, however, a vastly rewarding process that can provide your town with a major asset to ensure that citizens are actively involved in protecting and re-using its cultural resources. By creating a local preservation group, you are helping to ensure that the vitality and qualities of the community are properly planned for rather than left to chance. The above passage is an excerpt from the National Trust's Northeast Tip Sheet titled "Organizing for Preservation: A Resource Guide".
