Members of the National Preservation Partners Network met in Asheville, North Carolina, in April of 2025, for our annual Spring Retreat where they learned from each other and heard from other experts on historic preservation. The focus of the retreat was disaster preparedness and response, and Asheville provided the opportunity to learn lessons in the wake of Hurricane Helene.
