Duration: 4.5 Hours

What will you learn?

In September 2016, the Forest Service Chief committed the Chippewa National Forest (CNF) to enter into formal consultation with the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe (LLBO) to address desired vegetation-management conditions and develop a shared decision-making process for resource management on the CNF within the LLBO Reservation. A memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed between the LLBO and CNF in October 2019 that establishes a framework to allow the Band and the Forest to collaboratively advance shared priorities, coordinate investments, and implement projects on a landscape scale across shared boundaries.



This unique overlap of boundaries and jurisdiction provides leadership and staff the opportunity to implement Shared Stewardship through this MOU, enhancing the partnership between the Forest Service and the Band. The symposium will consider this unique relationship and describe some collaborative projects.
