Our Approach

We believe in ongoing learning through collaboration.

 

This is done through focused support by building partnerships within communities, as well as networks across communities, agencies, and organizations, thus helping them reach organizational goals and strategies

 

Facilitation and collaboration are more than organizing and managing meetings. This work plays an essential role in helping stakeholders work toward common goals and outcomes. As the impacts of a changing environment and resource degradation continue to increase, the management of natural resources among different communities will play an increasingly important role. Collaboration is crucial to address these issues.
