Preserving the Past
Building the Future
WHALE, in partnership with Trust for Public Land (TPL), is developing a Greenprint of New Bedford AND mapping places that matter to our community. The project will result in a Cultural Conservation Index of noteworthy historical and cultural assets, parks and open space, and other areas of opportunity. We invite you to participate in this process by nominating places to be included in our Greenprint.
