Sharing Management Practices

This team develops case studies to help others learn through past experiences. They document lessons learned and share those experiences to help resource managers better adapt to drought conditions. 

2024 Proposed Activities

• Support two National Drought Mitigation Center funded interns in the development of at least 3 case studies covering drought and climate adaptation through partnership with CART
• Prioritize ranch-level topics to build network of producers and expand to Hawai'i
• Continue to find synergy across the team's various projects such as podcasts and WATA

2022–2023 Proposed Activities

• Facilitate peer to peer learning and knowledge exchange between on-the-ground managers
• Capture and provide documentation of drought adaptation, mitigation, and resilience strategies, including lessons learned, and share via written case studies, podcasts, videos
• Produce at least 4 case studies of topics that aligned with regional needs at annual meeting, one of which comes from Hawaii 
• Continue brainstorming opportunities to gain feedback from Case Study users and understand how DLN members use Case Studies
• Continue improving communication between other teams and us; actively pursue case study needs from other groups 
• Bring in and grow paid student writer capacity through partners
