With the virtual explosion in available conservation information and technology, the value of effectively communicating and applying the partnership’s collective goals, objectives, decision support products, datasets, and other information in the field and among delivery professionals has grown accordingly. The LMVJV’s Conservation Delivery Networks (CDNs) are facilitating effective exchange of information among delivery staff (e.g., professionals on-the-ground) and planners, and facilitating excellent collaboration among our partners.

CDNs are leading conservation delivery across the JV region through coordinated planning and focus, targeted information exchange, forum for collaboration and networking, private lands conservation assistance, effects monitoring, multi-state delivery projects, and much more. All this is possible only through the active leadership of our CDN Chairs, Co-chairs, and Vice-Chairs. A hearty thanks goes to these staff and their organizations who invest significantly in the JV partnership.
