The Virginia Chapter is on board with that state?EUR??,,????'?????<???????????????????????(R)?EUR??,,????'????s natural resource management leaders in supporting the Virginia Natural Resources Leadership Institute. The institute, in its 11th year, consists of six three-day learning sessions offered in different locations throughout the Commonwealth.
Participants in the institute program, referred to as ?EUR??,,????'?????<?????????????????Fellows,?EUR??,,????'?????<????????????????? are drawn from Virginia industry, business, local and state government, and the environmental community, and will work together to develop skills in conflict resolution, personal leadership and collaborative dialogue. Under a grant from the U.S. Forest Service?EUR??,,????'?????<???????????????????????(R)?EUR??,,????'????s Urban and Community Forestry Grant Program, this year?EUR??,,????'?????<???????????????????????(R)?EUR??,,????'????s class also includes participants from Ohio and Colorado, states that are considering similar institutes.
The Virginia Natural Resources Leadership Institute is a partnership of the University of Virginia?EUR??,,????'?????<???????????????????????(R)?EUR??,,????'????s Institute for Environmental Negotiation, Virginia Cooperative Extension, the Virginia Department of Forestry and the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation.
The program is supported this year by a grant from the Dominion Foundation that supports collaborative decision-making for protecting Virginia?EUR??,,????'?????<???????????????????????(R)?EUR??,,????'????s environment and natural resources. The institute receives additional funds from the George Beals Conservation Leadership Fund of the Virginia Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts Educational Foundation, the Ballyshannon Fund, Merck and Company, the Virginia Department of Forestry and individual institute alumni.
The institute is designed to encourage communication and understanding between people representing different interests in Virginia?EUR??,,????'?????<???????????????????????(R)?EUR??,,????'????s natural resource issues. Each three-day session offers interactive exercises that focus on a topic such as conflict resolution, facilitation, consensus-building, interest-based negotiation, public involvement, environmental justice and collaborative leadership.
After the visit to Madison County, the program will take leaders to the Northern Neck, to Richmond, to the Shenandoah Valley, and to Southwest Virginia to learn about coal mining, land reclamation and sustainable forestry.
