Reflection/Evaluation
Wilderness Land Trust meeting was interesting because of the connections they have in Colorado and the efforts they make to convert private inholdings to public land, CWA call not much happening now. GOBfW meeting was in person so ever so great to catch up with each other and to see the level of interest for stewardship activities. Two staff from BLM local office and 1 Forest service staff. Colin talked at some length about the staffing changes at GJFO and that a number of people who had worked in the field office now work in the western office across the street. They don’t see to know much about changes that will be coming.
