1998 - Second Annual CFERP Workshop -
New York
The second annual CFERP workshop was held September 10-13, 1998 in Moravia, NY at the Casowasco Conference Center with 28 people in attendance. The workshop was co-hosted with the PECM program (Program in Environmental Conflict Management) at Cornell University, NY.
Participants included the CFERP fellows, community representatives, academic advisors, the CFERP steering committee and a pre-dissertation fellow who received EPA funding for his dissertation, but who wanted to attend because of his commitment to community forestry.
PECM’s collaboration made it possible to handle local workshop and logistical needs with a great deal more ease and grace. It also allowed CFERP to combine its workshop with a field trip to a nearby study site. Fellows and community members presented and discussed both their field research and the collaborative challenges and experiences of encouraging researchers and communities to work together.
In addition to the field trip, the workshop involved presentations on the research by each fellow and community person, group discussion of issues, intensive discussion of methods by fellows and faculty, and discussion of the program by community members, coordinators and the steering committee.
