PROJECT OVERVIEW

Through this endeavor we seek to document the emotional and historical connections people have to Louisa Resource Area.  We will do this by collecting and sharing interviews, photographs, prose and poetry that document the social significance of the beautiful natural areas in Louisa County.  Our goal is broad community participation.  As a volunteer or interviewee, you might fulfill a vital role in the success of this project by helping with interviews, serving as a translator, helping with presentations or completing clerical tasks. Please contact us if you are interested in being involved.
