At Rebuild Jones Park, we are committed to providing accurate, reliable, and community-centered information about Asheville’s public parks, sustainability efforts, rules, and park improvement projects. Our goal is to build public trust through transparency, accuracy, and accountability.
How We Verify Information
We follow a careful fact-checking process to ensure the information published on our site is up to date, accurate, and supported by credible sources. Our approach includes:
1. Use of Official Sources
We prioritize data and information from official and reputable sources such as:
- City of Asheville Parks & Recreation Department
- Buncombe County records
- North Carolina state agencies
- Official reports, maps, and press releases
- Government climate and sustainability frameworks
- Local historical archives (e.g., Pack Memorial Library Special Collections)
2. Community and Expert Input
When possible, we verify facts through:
- Input from city staff or neighborhood associations
- Collaboration with local historians, horticulturists, architects, and preservation experts
- Cross-checking community-submitted stories or photos
3. Citing Credible Publications
We reference recognized public health, environmental, and planning organizations including:
- Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
- UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)
- Peer-reviewed journals and academic research
Updates and Corrections
If an article contains outdated or incorrect information, we correct it as soon as we are made aware. All major updates are clearly noted with the date of revision. Minor edits for clarity or grammar may be made without notice.
Readers can report errors or suggest corrections by contacting us at: info@firebrick-bat-109799.hostingersite.com
Commitment to Neutrality
We aim to inform, not persuade. Our writing avoids promotional language and personal opinions. When presenting park rules, sustainability practices, or improvement updates, we stay neutral and let verified facts guide the message.
