We wanted to partner with HOAs to remove invasive grasses from their properties for both safety and to support invasive plant management in the nearby desert preserves. Our initial attempts to do so didn’t pan out as we had hoped. There wasn’t much HOA participation and we couldn’t tell why.
The skills that the collaborative conservation field requires can offer us some amazing tools for centering well-being, including trust, relationship building, and thoughtful facilitation. What are your intentions for 2025? And how does your collaborative practice inform them?
