Watch the Webinar

Date & Time (Eastern): 
Sep 17 2020 - 1:00pm

Webinar Summary:

But how do we move beyond “dissemination” to encourage stakeholders to reflect and integrate natural resource-based information for actual impact? With more than half of the forests and rangelands in the US under private ownership, and most others managed through local, state or federal entities, how do we work with land managers and owners in order to support complex natural resource decisions for resource health?
