– Attend public hearings to learn more about issues such as affordable housing and preservation zoning.

– Encourage the owners of threatened historic property to carefully evaluate alternatives to demolition.

– Attend a service at St. Peter & St. Paul Church, or any historic church and contribute to their preservation fund.

– Contact Historic Wilmington and donate a preservation easement on your historic building.

– Volunteer to help care for an historic cemetery, or form a friends group for the cemetery.
