1999 - 3rd Annual CFERP Workshop - Arkansas
The CFERP program’s third annual collaborative workshop (September 23-26, 1999) included CFERP fellows, community practitioners, academic advisors and the CFERP steering committee.
There were thirty people in attendance, including one self funded participant: a US Forest Service person who had attended last year’s workshop with her CFERP fellow and had become very excited and enthusiastic about the program. Among our participants we also had two members who were Native American (from the White Mountain Apache in AZ and the Flandreau Santee Sioux tribe in South Dakota).
The workshop was held at the Heifer Ranch in Perryville, Arkansas, which is owned and operated by the Heifer Project International. The workshop was co-hosted with assistance from the University of Arkansas’ Cooperative Extension Service. Their collaboration allowed the CFERP to include a field trip in the workshop to a nearby field site to study the role of private forest land ownership in this region.
