|
| This is an advanced level conservation partnerships course that builds on the partnership fundamentals learned in “Conservation Partnerships” (OUT 8110). Individuals often face challenges in developing landscape-level conservation partnerships with local landowners, agencies, organizations, and tribes. This roundtable provides participants with an opportunity to interact with partners who are currently involved in very successful partnership initiatives. It is a hands-on experiential training that allows participants a chance to work through their own partnership programs by talking with other partners and having open discussions about the elements that make a landscape-level partnership successful. Training takes place around the nation in locations of successful Service partnerships. |
