 Collaboration
Building on the success of the LEADER+ approach, an
additional focus to Action 2 projects is collaboration
with LEADER+ groups and partners in other regions, including:
Complementary development
The purpose of collaboration is to develop the natural
resources (eg, forestry, timber, sheep, wool) of the
respective LEADER+ areas in a coordinated and complementary
manner, avoiding duplication.
Sharing information and
Best Practice
In addition to regular, ad hoc communication between
staff from each region, collaboration is further aided
by quarterly Collaborative Discussion Boards, a Comparative
Analysis Study and Conference to share information and
best practice.
Different regions, common
themes
Within Action 2 programmes individual LEADER+ groups
work together under a common theme. For example the
overarching theme, "From Seed to Saw"
embraces the two partners' individual projects:
- Glasu focuses on demand and
supply of tree seed and tree seedlings.
- Complementing this, Adventa,
focuses on, sustainable woodland management, marketing
of local timber, supporting local employment. and
woodland interpretation.
