Resilient towns or ghost towns?
Change. Natural resource-dependent communities. The words bring to mind images of ghost towns. When a community faces change, the myth of the ghost town and the fear that the community will "blow away" often are present, especially in the first stage of transition.

In fact, however, most communities come through change intace... albeit in a new form. The key to success is to strengthen ourselves and our communities as we anticipate continuing change.
Natural resource-dependent communities have a lot in common when dealing with change. The video and materials in this program provide a glimpse of how three communities are managing change and practical information that can help your own community deal with change.
