In this weeks newsletter, David Sheffield, Executive Director of Green Wood Coalition, shares his thoughts on what are some great local gifts to buy this season. "Making this list was a really fun challenge for me. One of the strengths of Green Wood has been our healting-through-arts programming for people who otherwise wouldn't have access to these experiences. As a result I've met some wonderfully creative and compassionate humans in our community. I challenged myself to seek out at least one new (to me) maker for this list and have a sampling of gift ideas that I think are somewhat unique and reflect the kind of energy that drives the Northumberland community."
