Project Description
Facilitation, Planning and Training Services
Effective community-based organizations (CBO’s) and local governments are critical to break through logjams and achieve real results that are good for the environment, economy and communities. Across the Rockies they are the organizations providing local leadership and innovative solutions that work for their communities and the land. Unfortunately, all too often they have limited budgets and staff and are operating ‘on a shoe string’. This situation can dramatically limit their effectiveness.
