National Stewardship Contracting Virtual Meeting – 12/11/13
You are invited to participate in a web-based meeting about Stewardship Contracting on federal public lands. Stewardship Contracting is one of the most important tools the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management have for managing and restoring federal lands. We are seeking your input regarding the future use and development of Stewardship Contracting as part of the 2013 Programmatic Monitoring of Stewardship Contracts and Agreements.
During this web-based meeting you will help identify strategies for:
- Improving the use of stewardship authorities and engagement by communities;
- Replicating successes identified through the programmatic monitoring program;
- Overcoming barriers to the expanded use of stewardship contracting identified through the programmatic monitoring program.
