PRC – your on-line clearinghouse of information and tools for partnership building and collaboration.

Greetings!

Here’s a sample of what’s new at the Partnership Resource Center (PRC). Go on-line to access valuable partnership tools and templates, connect with partners and read inspiring stories of partnership successes.

Hurricane Katrina in the PRC Forum

Hurricane Katrina damaged about 19 billion board feet of timber, spread across 5 million acres of private and public lands. Restoring impacted forests will require coordinated efforts between the Forest Service, state governments, and local communities. How can the agency and its partners best work together to address these and other recovery needs? Share your thoughts and ideas on the PRC Forum under the “Hurricane Katrina” section.

New Feature Story

The National Forest Foundation and the Forest Service are teaming up once again to develop a new Mount St. Helens Institute. Find out how this new non-profit is bringing partners together.

Updated Pages

Check out these newly revised pages: Roads & Trails, Success Stories, Volunteers, and Wildlife, Fish & Plants.

Featured Tool

Looking for new stewardship projects? Consider taking a participatory approach to biological monitoring.
Broadening Participation in Biological Monitoring: Guidelines for Scientists and Managers is a how-to manual on developing your own project. Coming soon: a new page dedicated to resources and monitoring.

Survey Results

Thanks to all of you who participated in our surveys! We’ve compiled the results and will be implementing your ideas soon. Look for upcoming changes to the PRC.

Sincerely,
The Partnership Resource Center Team
