Our Next In-Person Training Opportunity!

After the WCCN’s conference, join us for a two-day workshop on collaborative campaign development.

SAVE THE DATE
Thurs-Friday May 21-22th, 2026!

When we collaborate with other organizations, we enhance our abilities to cut through the noise and make our stories heard, amplifying our messages so that our communications efforts are more effective. But, coordinating multiple partners with different goals to produce a common communications product or outcome is not a straightforward process.

Join us to learn how to identify and to leverage the strengths of other organizations, collaboratively strategize and develop messaging that transcends silos, and work together toward maximum communications impact.

This workshop would be great for teams who are already working together, or communications professionals who are interested in helping start a large comms campaign with partner organizations.


Please complete this interest form to express your interest and ability to participate in our in-person Workshop. We will be hosting this workshop May 21-22 in Fort Collins, Colorado, tagging onto the end of the Western Collaborative Conservation Network (WCCN)’s biennial event Confluence for those who will already be traveling for this conference.

This workshop will be a stand-alone event, although greatly benefited by many partners coming together for the WCCN Confluence.

We are currently seeking sponsors to help reduce participant costs – please let us know if you have an interest and ability to support conservation storytellers in growing their skills and developing collaborative content!

If you have any questions about this workshop, please contact Nicole Reese (Nicole@Crowd-Conservation.org) for more details. Registration will open by the end of February for the May workshop.

Resource: Message Box

I’ve had the pleasure of listening in on a couple of COMPASS presentations of their Message Box, a tool they created to help researchers communicate their science effectively. I think it’s a great resource to start developing a message or story about conservation issues.

They provide a free workbook that walks you through how to use their tool.

COMPASS supports scientists to effectively share their knowledge in the public discourse and decision-making. They provide training, coaching, more tools and resources, as well as opportunities to connect.
