The 2025 Cultural Resource Protection Summit marks the 18th gathering. As we continue to consider carefully the health and safety of our Summit family, it will be our 4th “hybrid” Summit, as well, with both in-person and virtual participation options. The Summit family remains hard at work fulfilling the mission we have had since the Summit’s inception:
The primary goal in organizing the annual Summit has been to facilitate amongst all affected parties an open, frank discussion about the intersection between cultural resources and land use. The Summit is designed to promote collaborative cultural resource planning as an effective means of finding resolution to issues before they escalate into emotionally-charged, divisive, and expensive stalemates or law suits.
