This chapter from the book The Colorado River VI: Science and Management at the Landscape Scale takes a detailed look at the formation of the cross-sector Escalante Watershed Partnership, along with its organization, the roles played by each partner, and lessons learned. “In all, some 25 federal, state, and private partners are currently part of the group. The Partnership has succeeded due in part to decisions made early in its formation, including the use of open meetings, professional facilitation, consensus, and strong local outreach.”
