The Technical Advisors will help compile available information, share their expert opinions, provide feedback on draft approaches to prioritizing conservation, and comment on draft documents to enhance their effectiveness in informing conservation. Technical Advisors have expertise in one or more of the four main focus areas of the Conservation Blueprint:

• Biodiversity
• Water – Watersheds, water supply, water quality
• Agriculture and Working Lands
• Recreation and Environmental Education

More than 180 experts have been invited to participate in a series of technical workshops in the fall of 2009.  Materials and information from these technical workshops will be posted on this website as they become available and be presented at the Community Workshops in early 2010.
