TOOLS OF ENGAGEMENT IN RESEARCH, EDUCATION AND OUTREACH: THE MULTIPLIER EFFECT OF BOUNDARY SPANNING, NETWORKS AND COMMUNICATION IN THE LAND OF PRIVATE PROPERTY
Llano River Field Station was involved numerous engagement efforts prior to the Watershed Protection Plan, but that plan and process provided the focus that sewed together the many disparate efforts and was instrumental in addressing the challenges associated with: 1) public skepticism of government in a rural conservative region of Texas, 2) gaining trust, 3) communicating goals, 4) enlisting participation and sustainability. Stakeholders identified all decisions as to problems and solutions in the watershed. LRFS learned how to interact and communicate with new audiences, the need to place research in the context of “real world” problems, being a credible resource, how to walk the fine line of informing the debate rather than perceived as an advocate, and role in providing critical guidance to resource managers. We used Social Network Analysis to map, measure, and find patterns in the connections between people and organizations and how an organization embedded in a larger system influences its actions, power, and resources. Field Stations together with agency partnerships and stakeholder/landowner involvement in research and education are resistance and resilience components of watersheds that promote stability by increasing capacity to absorb and recover from disturbances.
