The Land Trust has also been working on creating a robust, community-wide shared vision for Skyline Forest’s future conservation and management. Together with a coalition of community groups, we held visioning sessions in the summer and fall of 2022 and are now preparing a summary report that we hope to share in the new year. We are discovering that our community shares so many values around the future of Skyline Forest, and these values will be instrumental in informing our strategies for acquiring, conserving, and managing this special place.
