Abstract
Recent decades have seen the emergence of collaborative organizations for forest governance in landscape-scale management. A collaborative is defined as an organized collection of landowners, stakeholders, resource agencies, tribes, or other organizations that come together to address common issues and resolve problems through deliberation, consensus building, and cooperative learning (Goldstein and Butler 2010). Collaboratives are designed to be transparent, diverse, and inclusive (Wondolleck and Yaffee 2003). Although some collaboratives are community driven or place based, with the goal of protecting local interests or access, others are sparked by land managers who seek integrated solutions to multiple interests and objectives.
