# Growth Desk source note — 2026-09-11 field-trip weekend package

## Angle
Greenwood should test a small field-trip weekend package — heritage, museum/visitor centre, trails/recreation, stay/eat links, safety notes and club outreach — before buying larger tourism promotion or inventing a bigger attraction.

- Tumbler Ridge Global Geopark — HTTP 200, title `Tumbler Ridge Global Geopark - Tumbler Ridge Global Geopark`. Used as an outside case-study lesson in packaging geology, trails, fossils/waterfalls, education and human history; not used to imply Greenwood is a geopark.

- City of Greenwood Recreation — HTTP 200, title `Recreation | City of Greenwood`. Used for local recreation proof-link framing; page extract also showed current water/open-burning alert text, reinforcing caution around visitor plans.
- City of Greenwood Stay & Eat — HTTP 200, title `Stay & Eat | City of Greenwood`. Used as local stay/eat proof-link framing, not as a claim every listing is open or part of a package.

## Partial/failed checks not relied on as public anchors
- Destination BC old `/what-we-do/destination-development/` URL returned HTTP 404 in this run.

## Editorial cautions
- This is a Growth Desk proposal, not an official City plan.
- Do not imply Greenwood has UNESCO designation, a funded tourism program, a confirmed guide roster, a new trail project, bus/group parking, accessibility, route safety or signed business participation.
- Do not publish private land, trail, wildlife, school/group or business-special claims without named confirmation.
- Keep wildfire/smoke, water restrictions, winter access, insurance, volunteer capacity and small-staff limits visible.

## Human follow-up needed
Current museum hours, cleared heritage photos, local guide/historian/geology/nature contacts, participating cafés/shops/accommodation contacts, washroom/parking/accessibility notes, trail-condition contacts, school/club interest, safe seasonal route ideas and a local subject-matter checker for geology/nature claims.
