Bears Ears Stakeholder Summit!

END OF CLASS THOUGHTS

• Ashley's note on tomorrow's readings and really the purpose of the Bears Ears trip: To reflect on the ways forming a stronger connection to a place can contribute to a more personally sustainable life as well as stronger connections with your community!!! 
  
• So, based on that goal, I've created a rubric for this trip that attempts to measure your effort to work toward that goal: Bears Ears Participation Rubric​  (FYI)

2. 3-5 specific quotes from your documents that support your concerns (
3. 3-5 Potential solutions that your group would support

As a Utah state official,  Emma (morning pod) and Alma (afternoon pod) will be facilitating this discussion.

2. Find common grounds and sticking points
3. Try to find a common solution that balances the 3 spheres (economic, environmental, social/cultural)
4. Make sure you stay in character as the group you are supposed to represent!
