Conference Proceedings (Chapter)
This paper presents a conceptual framework for thinking about the social, economic, and ecological linkages between urban and rural communities. It also describes urban-rural pilot projects in the Puget Sound and Chesapeake Bay areas being developed through a partnership initiative of AMERICAN FORESTS and the Communities Committee with local community groups. The pilots involve education, training, communication and policy activities focused on watershed restoration and job opportunities for ecosystem workers. [UMN]
