Shared Stewardship: Building a Common Vision for Idaho
IFRP invites Idaho forest collaborative groups to participate in a two day workshop -Shared Stewardship: Building a Common Vision for Idaho. The workshop brings together leaders from the timber industry, local government, conservation organizations, community groups, and land management agencies from across the state. The collaborative groups in Idaho continue to evolve and innovate in their efforts to restore forests at a landscape scale. Public and private landowners share the resources in those landscapes, as well as the risks associated with the resource conditions. The Partners have structured this workshop to initiate a dialogue. The purpose is to engage collaborative groups in Idaho's strategy to implement the shared stewardship initiative.
