Collaborative Resource Management in the Missouri River BasinJuly 20-25, 2003 South Sioux City, Nebraska
In July 2003, a group of 34 resource managers from across the Missouri River Basin gathered in South Sioux City, Nebraska for a week-long course on Collaborative Resource Management. Participants came from federal, tribal, and state governments, driving in from as far north as Montana and from as far south as Missouri.
What brought this myriad group together was a desire to discover a new way to approach the management of the Missouri River Basin’s natural resources. As a backdrop for the week’s activities (and as an indication of how litigious the situation has become), a federal judge was ruling on a case to set the river levels on the Missouri. Participants left the course with the tools and enthusiasm to return to their agencies and to begin making changes to the status quo. The inter-agency/inter-government nature of the course also allowed participants the unique opportunity to make connections as the foundation for future collaboration Selected Materials from the Course in PDF FormatNewsletter (published September 2003)
