<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Join us to shape the future of Oregon’s heritage sector! This year, the Oregon Heritage Commission is supporting an important update to a decade-old Oregon Heritage Vitality Study. This study will help us understand
 the current state of the heritage sector in Oregon, highlighting key issues that impact the sector, and provide recommendations at the local and state level to address collective needs and challenges.
<b>Right now, we need your help to guide the recommendations that will be included in the Study</b>. During this interactive workshop, we’ll share an overview of the key issues you helped us identify through the Vitality Study Survey earlier this year and then
 brainstorm changes and resources that would better support your work. This is your chance to influence the tools and policies that will shape the heritage sector in Oregon over the coming years.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Camp Namanu is among Oregon’s latest entries in the National Register of Historic Places. Oregon’s State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation (SACHP) recommended the nomination at their October 2023 meeting
 for its important social and architectural history. The National Park Service — which maintains the National Register of Historic Places — accepted this nomination in March 2024.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Camp Namanu, Oregon's first girls' camp founded in 1924 by Camp Fire Girls, spans 552-acres along the Sandy River. It features rustic wooden buildings blending seamlessly with the surrounding meadows, forests,
 and river. Reflective of Progressive Era summer camps, Camp Namanu was established to provide the types of leadership and outdoor development opportunities to young women that already existed for boys.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The camp's structures are influenced by the back-to-nature movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries that romanticized the American landscape. Notably, Camp Namanu features works by Pietro Belluschi,
 an Italian American architect renowned for his Pacific Northwest-inspired designs. Belluschi is credited with the design of several existing lodges at Camp Namanu and those buildings illustrate the early development of his style.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">For more information on how Camp Namanu is celebrating its 100-year anniversary, visit

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">This effort is in line with Oregon’s Statewide Preservation Plan that seeks to increase the number of listings in the National Register and addresses the goal to increase the populations underrepresented in
 Oregon’s National Register listings. It also supports the goals to increase access to and include more voices in Oregon heritage that are part of the Oregon Heritage Plan.<o:p></o:p></p>
