The Pacific Northwest Preservation Field School, in its 22 year, is working at Mt. Rainier National Park during the month of August on a variety of projects with many learning opportunities for anyone interested in the field of historic preservation and hands on craft training.

RESTORE OREGON'S PRESERVATION TOOLKIT AVAILABLE ONLINE

Restore Oregon's Preservation Toolkit offers a guide to the process and decisions that need to be made when approaching the restoration and reuse of a historic building. The toolkit can be applied to small-to-medium commercial properties, homes, barns, and other types of structures.

The toolkit is available for free online<http://restoreoregon.org/preservation-toolkit/> and was supported by grants from the Oregon Cultural Trust, The Oregon Community Foundation, and Pacific Power.


TRAVEL OREGON'S STATEWIDE TOURISM SURVEY RESULTS AVAILABLE ONLINE

During the 2016 legislative session, a bill was passed that increased funding for Oregon's statewide tourism investment. Following the passage of this bill, Travel Oregon conducted an intensive online survey about the recently passed legislation, Travel Oregon's programs, and tourism priorities across the state. In addition to the survey, they also hosted 21 Oregon Tourism Town Halls across the state. The results of the survey and the town hall meetings will be used as input for the Oregon Tourism Commission's Strategic Plan process for 2017-2019.

View the results from the statewide tourism survey and town hall report here<http://industry.traveloregon.com/organization/lodging-tax/2016-stakeholder-survey-town-hall-findings/>.
