![]() ![]() It points history organizations towards national standards in six areas spanning everything from governance to collections, interpretation to community engagement. The self-assessment was structured around the national STEPS (Standards and Excellence Program) workbook and community, under the umbrella of the American Association for State and Local History (AASLH). As an independent museum professional, I am pleased to report that GVHS is a solid organization, built over decades on strong foundations, and working actively to expand and advance the value of Golden Valley’s history to the community. We believe that the Golden Valley, and Herefordshire, is ideally suited to explore new forms of agroecology as part of farm diversification.In 2021, the Golden Valley Historical Society contracted with me to facilitate a year-long self-assessment of its entire operation. We will support and work with others in the Golden Valley and the wider Herefordshire community to reduce emissions, reuse and recycle our waste, and stop harmful industrial and agricultural practices. We acknowledge that climate change is an issue. We believe that tourism provides a viable economic input alongside an agricultural community, small scale tourist initiatives keep money circulating locally, to everyone’s benefit. We will actively campaign in favour of new initiatives such as cycle tracks, the allocation of land for wildland conservation, the preservation of heritage sites, and more generally any initiative that expands biodiversity in the Golden Valley and beyond. We fully support the need for a viable rural economy in general and a viable farming economy in particular and support farm diversification proposals provided they do not carry a significant negative impact (environmental, financial or otherwise) on the surrounding community, including other businesses.
