Scaling Stewardship Outcomes & Impact Through Collaboration: Findings from the Field

(11am CT, 10am MT, 9am PT)

Today’s difficult and dynamic stewardship challenges are increasingly complex, often requiring collaboration across sectors and boundaries for positive outcomes. Despite this, it can be hard to secure the resources needed to keep multiparty initiatives robust and effective. Join us for this episode to hear from two of TSN’s own extended team about the growing body of published research that collaborative capacity investments are truly essential. They will share new findings from evaluations they recently conducted of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s Innovative Nutrient & Sediment Reduction Grants Program in the Chesapeake Bay and the Network for Landscape Conservation’s Catalyst Fund Program to help attendees make a compelling case for collaboration and funding collaborative capacity.
