Lessons in Collaborative Adaptive Management (CAM) for Natural Resource Managers and Stakeholders
January 31, 2013, 9am to Noon, UC Cooperative Extensionm, 11477 E Ave., Dewitt Center, Auburn, CA
The Sierra Nevada Adaptive Management Project’s (SNAMP) University of California Cooperative Extension team will be hosting a series of workshops on Collaborative Adaptive Management (CAM) beginning January 2013 through March 2013 in the Auburn and Oakhurst areas.
The purpose of these workshops is to help improve communication by building facilitation skills within the many groups involved in collaborative adaptive management processes. We will work to build a common language to support CAM and share tools to prevent problems and interventions to support success when problems arise. These workshops are designed to support the building of a common knowledge base through mutual learning and discussion. The UC Cooperative Extension has developed training modules for all levels of natural resource management staff and stakeholders interested in developing these skills.
A series of three, 3 hour trainings will cover topics such as stakeholder analysis, agenda building, listening as an ally, the decision making process, identifying constraints, reconciling differences and reducing conflicts. Participants will learn training concepts, practice methods and obtain the skills needed to pursue effective adaptive management.
The first training will be January 31, 2013 at the UC Cooperative Extension office (11477 E Ave, Dewitt Center, Auburn, CA 95603) from 9am to noon. Please see the attached agenda for training specifics. Participation is limited to 20 participants due to space constraints.
If you are interested in participating or if you have any questions, please contact Kim Ingram at kcingram@ucanr.edu by January 23, 2013.
