Heritage Conservation Network will present a series of five individual hands-on building conservation workshops in 2006 dealing with a variety of preservation topics and, in addition,
will hold two ongoing series of workshops in hurricane-damaged areas of Louisiana and Mississippi. The workshops last from one to two weeks and feature a conservation expert who teaches
and guides participants as they work on a historic structure. Architects, contractors, preservation specialists and laypersons are joined at the site by local volunteers working to
preserve their heritage.
