The event will provide visitors with an opportunity to share information about their favorite "green" locations to assist in generating a community green asset map.  Citizens are asked to bring ideas about and locations of their favorite parks, trails, gardens, and sustainable businesses to assist in the creation of content for the asset map.  Any place or organization that applies to Dubuque's sustainability principles belongs on the map.
