Regional Collaboration Stewardship Across Boundaries

Many of today's most compelling land use, natural resource, and environmental issues—such as climate change, land use, water allocation, and landscape conservation—require people and institutions to work across jurisdictional lines and other boundaries. As illustrated below, trans-boundary issues occur at many spatial scales.

There is no single model for regional collaboration, no universal approach that works in all situations. But the principles and tools on this web site can help guide your work across boundaries. The best efforts are homegrown, tailoring the principles and tools to suit the issue at hand and the unique needs and interests of each region.

This web site serves as the clearinghouse of principles, tools, and resources for working across boundaries to achieve regional stewardship. If you have case studies and/or other resources that you would like us to consider adding to this web site, please send them to the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy at help@lincolninst.edu.
