What is an effective consultation?
One that:
► Fully considers the impacts to T and E species
► Helps to attain the goals of the project
► Is consistent with regulations or statutes
► Is timely

What is the key to effective consultation?
A) Waiting until the last minute to talk to anyone about the project because that gives them the least amount of time to derail it.
B) Waiting until your boss tells you that you’ve got to involve “others” in the planning process.
C) Pretending that consultation is only for projects that aren’t as important as yours

What is the key to effective consultation?
► Early
Preferably when the project is in the first stages of consideration or even the brainstorm phase
Before documents get drafted and the action gets locked in
► Often
Because this builds a relationship between people of different disciplines and issues will surface more informally before strong positions are developed
Communication

Calibration needs to start in the field

What types of site specific information might lead to customized projects?
Site specific information such as:

Failure at the implementation level
Goals and objectives must be clearly communicated to the folks that are implementing the action
on the ground
