Chamber’s Ag and Natural Resources Committee to Host Next Round of ‘Lunchtime Conversations About Open Spaces’

The next round of “Lunchtime Conversations About Open Spaces” will begin next week in Sheridan. The Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce’s Ag and Natural Resources Committee relaunched the series in 2022 after the pandemic put the initial round on hold. In 2022, more than 200 people attended the four sessions.

This year’s first session, “The Role of Land Use Planning” will take place Tuesday, January 24 at noon at Luminous Brewhouse in Sheridan. The other scheduled sessions this year include “Water” on Tuesday, February 28, “Maintaining and Managing Open Spaces” on Tuesday, March 28, and the series will wrap up with an examination of communities that have been successful at maintaining open spaces on Tuesday, April 25.

During each session, the topic will be interactively explored with attendees with the focus on what is a balanced use of our open space, and can we continue to balance that use into the future? Each session will also discuss the importance of open spaces to our community’s economy and culture now and into the future. Attendees are encouraged to join in with questions and discussion. Each session will be held from noon to 1 pm at Luminous Brewhouse. All sessions are free to attend and open to everyone. No registration is necessary.
