Our “Approach”• An approach but no plan: The NCRN has an
approach or strategy geared to communicating scientific information but does not currently have a communication plan.
• Started early on: Started to develop communication ideas and relationships with partners before the collection of monitoring data began (~2005).
• Developed partnerships: Partnered with the regional learning center (UERLA) and the Integration and Application Network from the Univ. of Maryland to develop a suite of communication products.
• Product diversity: Developed a diversity of products for a variety of audiences.

Take Home Messages• Start Early. We benefited greatly by
establishing a communication partnership and developing a basic suite of products early on.
• Broad range of products applicable for different audiences and situations.
• Stakeholder involvement. Get input for stakeholders (park managers).
