Fern & Learn

Fern & Learn, a program launched by the City Manager's Office, is a comprehensive introductory community civics program that invites citizens to get up close and personal with their local government.

 

Participants are welcomed by the Communications Specialist, attend interactive sessions led by directors and key staff, visit potential development projects, and tour City facilities. The goal is for attendees to learn more about Ferndale's local government services to gain a better understanding of the community and inspire positive connections.
