2006 Chico Hot Springs: Integrating Science And Park Resource Management

Workshop held at Chico Hot Springs, Montana
September 26-28, 2006

The Chico Hot Springs workshop on integrating science and natural resources management was the second in a series of Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) workshops focused on this topic hosted by the I&M Program in the Intermountain Region. The first workshop, “Integrating Monitoring Results into Park Natural Resource Management,” was held on December 6-8, 2005 in Rio Rico, AZ.
