In 2024, the Institute for Natural Resources, OSU extension, and Agricultural Research Service started a series of Threat-Based Strategic Conservation workshops with local collaborative groups in Oregon, including the Prineville, Lakeview and Burns Local Implementation Teams. These workshops provide a hands-on, interactive process to facilitate landscape-scale, proactive planning in complex local landscapes - with the goal of helping our partners develop their own science-informed but locally-derived spatial strategy to defend and grow the core.
