The 2-3-2 Cohesive Strategy Partnership (2-3-2) is a conglomerate of place-based collaboratives – a team of teams – whose geography encompasses 2 watersheds, 3 rivers, and 2 states. We strive to work together to protect and preserve the forest health, water quality, wildlife habitat and communities within the San Juan, Chama and Rio Grande Watershed Landscapes. We implement a cohesive approach that supports a coordinated, landscape-scale effort that emphasizes public and private partnerships, bridges geographic boundaries and addresses agency management constraints to deliver integrated results that cannot be accomplished when working separately.
We will be joining the 9th Annual Rio Chama Congreso for a joint meeting at Ghost Ranch. We will have a meet and greet on February 27th. On the 28th, we're aiming to have a conversation about monitoring at a landscape scale and look at the data we collected in 2024. There will be joint tours with Congreso and a film screening. March 1st is the Congreso. More details will be provided as we approach the meeting date. Join our newsletter to stay up to date or reach out to Alex with questions (alex@mountainstudies.org).

The 2-3-2 Partnership just finished the first edition of the Multiparty Monitoring Plan thanks to the dedicated hard work and collaboration of partners and staff. In fact, since it rolled out, the first on the ground monitoring took place in Tres Piedras. All of it got me thinking. Why do we humans pay attention to
How do you know if someone is being authentic? Just as importantly, how do you ensure that you are? I’ve often heard that building trust is a function of consistency over time. But how much time? Who decides? I had a conversation at the 2-3-2 Partnership meeting in early February in Taos with John Waconda,
