Over the next several months the CBD board of directors will be reviewing the report; using the findings to help shape our land use decisions and considering which recommendations are our top priorities and how to fund their implementation.

Our Ambassadors have reached out to 1145 visitors in July! We've had visitors from Italy, Slovakia, Germany, Mexico, England, Ohio & Santa Rosa. Keep up the positive work!
