Come join us!

No money. No resources. No problem! Join us as we explore the leveraging of partnerships to overcome obstacles and increase capacity. This case study provides examples how to start and grow a successful partnership from a shared mission and need based objectives. Participants will receive a practical guide to identify, organize, build and sustain a synergistic relationship to increase their outreach initiatives. The case study emphasizes connecting visitors in a meaningful way to your landscapes from distant communities.
