Reflection/Evaluation

It is pretty painful to figure out how to write acceptable problem statements for all of these meetings, and then to move on to Desired Conditions statements. The Tres Pistolas team is still working on that. I do have a notetaker for the Tres Pistolas activities and the two of us usually end up writing and editing the summaries that I share with the whole collaborative. We must finish these problem statements and desired conditions this summer and move on to the next step – recommended actions for the district Ranger no later than October. I am glad I don’t have to do the summary for the Westside invasive group.
