ABSTRACT: This project will place the PNW Coast LCD on a pathway for successfully engaging private landowners and increase the likelihood that the products of the LCD effort will be used to drive conservation in the region for years to come.The first goal is to develop a logical, sequential, effective strategy to engage private lands in the various facets and phases of the LCD effort. Having a jointly-developed landowner engagement strategy recognizes that this landscape design process should be conducted in close partnership with those whom we rely on to continue producing environmental values. The second goal is to implement initial steps of the landowner engagement strategy. These early implementation steps include identifying and laying ground work for a collaborative working relationship. Through facilitated conversations with ownership groups garner support, input, and eventual buy-in to overall LCD strategy.
