Collaborative Resource Management in Western ColoradoGrand Junction, Colorado
December 12-17, 2004
In December 2004, a group of 45 resource managers from across Western Colorado gathered in Grand Junction, Colorado for a week-long course on Collaborative Resource Management. Participants came from federal, state, and county governments.
In western Colorado, a number of collaborative efforts are underway and others are proposed; yet there has been little opportunity for groups to learn from each other's experiences or to collaborate with national experts on ways to optimize their efforts. What brought this myriad group together was a desire to discover a new way to approach the management of Western Colorado’s natural resources.
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.
