Land, River, Culture, Community:
People of the Nanticoke Uniting for the Future

The Nanticoke visioning conference was held in Vienna, MD. The event brought together 40 - 50 people from Wicomico County and Dorchester County, Maryland, as well as, Sussex County, Delaware who represent various parts of the Nanticoke watershed including agriculture, public service, environmental conservation, tourism, business & industry, education, historical & cultural preservation, resource users, and civic groups to plan for the future of the region. The summary of the visioning conference provides an overview of the process and the conference outcomes. Contact jhicks@sustainabledelmarva.net for the full visioning conference report.

The results of the conference will serve as the basis of a Nanticoke River watershed Green Infrastructure management plan that will be proposed to each of the three watershed counties for adoption.

Accomack County hosted a World Café which was attended by over 200 members of the community. It was a kick off to an in-depth process that will result in a vision and action plan for the community. The major themes that emerged from the World Cafe will provide the focus for its next step: a Future Search conference to be held later in 2010.
