Community Toolbox

A range of tools from the National Park service USA including organisation, decision making, events, communication, facilitation and outreach.

The National Park Service Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance program of the USA helps communities work together to improve their special places.

The Tools:

• Decision making
• Events
• Gatherings
• Visual and written communication
• Facilitation
• Outreach
• Collecting information

There are a number of ways to use their Toolbox for public participation:

• Look at the checklist for ideas and options
• Get an introduction to some new techniques
• get a refresher on some you may have used before
• Use it as a blueprint for building a strategy for a project

This collection of techniques can help you get organized to turn your vision into reality.
