The National Park Service invites public input on a feasibility study that will be used to determine whether the Finger Lakes region could become a national heritage area.
Unlike national parks, people actually live in the large landscapes the park service refers to as national heritage areas. Consequently, national heritage areas entities work with communities to determine how to make heritage relevant to local interests and needs.
The comment period for the Finger Lakes National Heritage Area Feasibility Study started Monday and will end on June 1. More information about the study is available at https://parkplanning.nps.gov/FingerLakes.

A two-state collaboration promoting the natural, cultural and historic resources of the St. Croix River watershed took a step closer to earning national recognition last month.
North Woods and Waters of the St. Croix Heritage Area has fulfilled National Park Service criteria to be designated a National Heritage Area. The designation would unlock federal funding and raise awareness of the area, which includes two states, four Ojibwe tribes, 18 counties and 114 separate zip codes. Portions of Douglas County, including Gordon, Wascott and Dairyland, are included.
