"If The Mountain Could Speak"
A 13 minute BLM Video on the Trout Creek Mountain Working Group
| Introduction:
This video illustrates the success of collaborative decision making in achieving and maintaining healthy ecosystems. The goal is to show how people involved in current or potential land use conflicts on the public lands can resolve their differences. Although the video provides many insights on the collaborative decision-making process, it is not intended as an instructional tool. The Bureau of Land Management believes that collaborative decision making plays a critical role in achieving and maintaining healthy ecosystems. Yet many people are skeptical that individuals with dramatically diverse backgrounds, values, and lifestyles can put old biases aside to resolve their differences over how to use the public lands. This video shows that if those who live on and love the land work long and hard enough, they can develop a shared vision that ensures the ecological health of the land and the economic well being of the people who use it. Video uses: - This video would be useful to Bureau of Land Management managers and natural resource professionals who want to start a collaborative decision-making process to resolve conflicts between people with different interests in the public lands. - In addition, it would benefit ranchers, representatives of special interest groups, and other individuals who want to resolve land use conflicts on the public lands. This video is available by contacting the Records Manager at the BLM National Training Center at (602)906-5585 or (602) 906-5500. |
