Management Strategies: Strategy Suggestions

Professionals from natural resource agencies in Eugene/Springfield, Portland, and Bend helped us develop the following management strategies. The process of developing the management strategies we present below involved urban natural resource professionals first reviewing our survey data analyses, and then participating in group discussions focusing on strategies formulated in response to our study results and based on their professional experience (See Methods, Appendix 2, for a full discussion). After all discussions were completed, we reviewed discussion notes and recordings and organized the professionals' suggestions into three broad conceptual areas: contact strategies, personalization strategies, and messaging strategies.
