Executive Summary: Fostering Collaboration Among Stakeholders in Sustainable Landscape Planning in Southern Ontario
The Stewardship Network of Ontario had developed an Executive Summary to support its landscape planning discussion paper entitled Fostering Collaboration Among Stakeholders in Sustainable Landscape Planning in Southern Ontario.
The Executive Summary synthesizes the information in the discussion paper, summarizing sustainable landscape planning with a view to identifying methods of improving collaboration and social learning among stakeholder groups.
Fostering Collaboration Among Stakeholders in Sustainable Landscape Planning in Southern Ontario: a Discussion Paper.
The Stewardship Network of Ontario is pleased to present this Discussion Paper to the public. This paper synthesizes the existing information on the topic of sustainable landscape planning with the view to improve collaboration and social-learning among stakeholder groups in the southern Ontario context.
The Stewardship Network of Ontario's working assumption is that we can do a better job of sustaining the ecological goods and services that we derive from the land if we focus our efforts and work together toward common goals and targets.
