Take the Rooting for the Ridge Survey
When you drive into Dalton, you are greeted by the stunning view of Rocky Face Ridge. This ridge is more than just a pretty landmark or great place to hike; it is a vital component of Dalton’s natural infrastructure. The Dalton Resilient Community committee is launching a new survey to gather residents’ opinions on Dalton’s natural assets and environmental resilience.
The committee’s Rooting for the Ridge educational effort seeks to encourage local understanding of the crucial role that Rocky Face Ridge plays in providing benefits which enhance our community’s quality of life. The initiative is a collaborative effort funded through Thrive Regional Partnership’s Resilient Communities program, run in partnership with the Open Space Institute, and administered by Keep Dalton-Whitfield Beautiful. It is led by a dedicated group of citizens in Dalton and Whitfield County.
