Partnerscapes

Grasslands support both people and nature and make up some of our most important working landscapes in the US. Grasslands are overwhelming privately owned in the US and public-private partnerships and collaborative efforts that address ecologic, economic and sociologic aspects of grasslands offer the best opportunity to sustain these systems in to the future. I work for an organization that works specifically on partnership and communication, specifically those involving private landowners and rural communities, in sustaining our national working landscapes.
