Workshops on Demand
Dr. Brett Roper (USDA Forest Service and Utah State
University Department of Aquatic, Watershed and Earth Resources)
offers assorted aquatic workshop topics "on demand".
He will work with you on hosting aquatic workshops in your area.
Generally there is a 10 to 15 participant minimum. Invite natural
resource professionals from your area other federal agencies,
tribal organizations, state, city, private, international and
companies. You work with Brett to develop a curriculum to best
meet your needs.
Contact: Dr. Brett Roper, 435-755-3566 or broper@fs.fed.us
Current options include:
- Basin Surveys & Applications
(including inventories)
- Aquatic Monitoring -
Eastern
- Sampling Amphibians - Objective: explain and demonstrate
sampling methods for a variety of amphibians and associated
habitats.
- Data Analysis using ExcelTM
- Objectives: design Pivot Tables; use ANOVA and Regression
Analysis; interpret data.
Dr. Steve McMullin (McMulling Training and Consulting;
affiliated with Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University)
and other instructors from the popular Leadership and Communications
(LAC) workshop will bring any piece of LAC to your district
or forest. This is a cost-effective way to provide high-quality
training to your employees. This includes Myers-Briggs psychological
type as a basic building block for interpersonal communication
and team building. Other workshops can include leadership and
management, conflict resolution, working effectively with the
media, and effective writing and speaking for natural resource
professionals. The Advanced LAC workshop is modified
to incorporate follow-up coaching. This will allow the vendor
to work with each participant to ensure that he/she gets the
most out of the feedback from the instruments and incorporates
that feedback into a personal development plan. It is important
for participants in this workshop to come into it with a working
knowledge of Myers-Briggs (it was designed as a follow-up to
the regular LAC workshop).
The workshops on demand are also relatively new. As budgets
tightened and travel becomes more restricted, Dr. McMullin is
offering more training on districts and forests. The workshops
on demand can be tailored to your needs and address any topic
covered in the 2-week LAC workshop. To be most cost-effective,
the workshops usually are 1.5 to 2 days long. Myers-Briggs is
a popular topic of the workshops thus far, usually combined
with team building or conflict resolution/dealing with difficult
people. Dr. McMullin has done these workshops for Forest Leadership
Teams, Districts, and for several combined Districts. This approach
is very cost-effective, because Dr. McMullin can provide 2 days
of high-quality training to 40 or more people for about the
same cost as sending 4 people to the LAC workshop in a different
location. Contact the vendor for examples, evaluations and references.

Sandra Jacobson and Terry Brennan offer "Planning
for Environmentally-Sensitive Highway Projects.
Objective: streamline and improve delivery of an environmentally-sensitive
highway project using the context-sensitive planning approach
in an interdisciplinary and interagency planning team. Instructors
are an interdisciplinary team (transportation ecology specialists:
wildlife biologists, engineers, hydrologists, soil scientists,
botanists, and recreation planners). Target audience: interagency,
interdisciplinary team and line officers working together on
a multi-year project including highway project planning. Topics
include agency differences in NEPA, time lines, funding mechanisms
and policy. Course structure might allow some disciplines to
participate for less than the entire week.
