Course Description

Large environmental changes can't be made from technological innovation alone, nor can they happen solely with regulation and / or awareness campaigns. Partnering with those who have aligned goals or the tools to implement them is necessary for making large scale changes happen. This workshop will focus on the skills and processes necessary for moving organizational goals forward. Case studies pertaining to water quality and habitat restoration, as well as diesel and climate efforts will be presented by public and private organizations.
