An Online Working Group for Exploring The Role of Participation in Ecosystem Services Planning
Welcome to the "Participation in Ecosystem Services" group on the Ecosystem Commons. This group builds off the efforts of a working group at the 2012 Ecosystem Services Partnership conference in Portland, Oregon. At the end of the working group, many participants expressed an interest in keeping the dialog going. This Ecosystem Commons group provides a forum for participants to share resources, pose questions to the group, and include other colleagues that were unable to partipate at the ESP conference (or many other uses that you see appropriate).
