A community owned board consisting of several panels that may be used for artwork, poetry, posters, events, sponsorships, maps etc.
A collaborative heritage board is a group or committee formed to collectively manage, preserve, or promote cultural, historical, or natural heritage.
It typically involves multiple stakeholders—such as community members, historians, local authorities, or organizations—working together to make decisions about how heritage sites, traditions, or artifacts are maintained and shared. The "collaborative" aspect emphasizes inclusivity, ensuring diverse perspectives contribute to the process, often with the goal of balancing preservation with public access or education.
For example, imagine a small town with an old lighthouse. A collaborative heritage board might include a local historian, a tourism official, and residents to decide how to restore it, whether to open it to visitors, or how to fund it—all while keeping its historical value intact. It’s about teamwork in safeguarding something meaningful to a group or place.
