The Conservation Study Institute has released the sixth publication in its Conservation and Stewardship Publication Series. Collaboration and Conservation: Lessons Learned from National Park Service Partnership Areas in the Western United States is the result of a workshop held in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 2003. The workshop brought together 27 experienced partnership practitioners from the NPS and partner organizations to share what they have learned about building effective conservation partnerships and to discuss how to create a sustainable approach to partnerships within the NPS, other federal agencies, and a wide range of partner organizations. This workshop was designed to build on a similar workshop held in Woodstock, Vermont, in 2000 which convened practitioners primarily from the eastern United States. The workshop was convened for the National Park Service Planning and Special Studies Program by the Conservation Study Institute and QLF/Atlantic Center for the Environment.
