Collaborative Restoration Workshop Problem Resolving and Preventing Working Together Effectively Alan Harper Resource Manager Idaho Forest Group
Working Within A Collaboration From the perspective of an Industry Forester When we started the 1stcollaboration in North Idaho most of the conflict was between the Environmental Community as one group and the Agency and Industry together as another group. Over time the Environmental Community and Industry started gaining trust with one another by finding compromises that both parties could live with. Conflict then shifted, the Environmental Community and Industry started working together as one in conflict with the Agency.
Working Within A Collaboration From the perspective of an Industry Forester After several years of meetings and countless trips to the woods we completed our 1stproject, a 10,000 mbf Stewardship sale. At some point during the development of that 1stproject all parties involved started listening and trusting one another. Key elements of that 1stproject have now been used in several other projects on the Forest. It is important to know that none of these projects have met 100% of the goals of any one group but they were actable to all.
