Education Outreach |
|
Educational presentations were made to several groups and organizations during the fiscal year 2012-2013.
Coordination Strategy Workshop This spring, the LDCD hosted and attended the Coordination Strategy Workshop. Coordination Strategy gives a meaningful seat at the table when Federal Agencies plan to implement regulatory processes such as the Endangered Species Act, Forest Revision Plans, BLM Resource Management Plans, transmissions lines, super corridors, etc. The workshop was presented by the American Stewards of Liberty. Federal Law requires federal agencies to coordinate their plans with local governments. Local leaders from the community and interested citizens attended the workshop to learn more about the process.
