Decision Tree sample education or outreach goals:
I need to develop an education program or outreach strategy:
Tree 1 — To tackle a specific water use or management
problem
Tree 2 — To increase public awareness or help a community
meet a water management goal
Tree 3 — To build community capacity to manage water
use and environmental impacts
If you followed the first two steps of this Planning guide, you
have already identified your target audience and described the "community"
context. How does your goal fit what you learned? Add detail to
your goal or revise your goal to better match audience or community
characteristics.
Use one or more of the following methods to involve the "community"
in identifying needs and clarifying goals.
- Youth input (by survey, informal discussion, etc.)
- Target group or citizen input (by survey, informal discussion,
etc.)
- Public discussion of important local issues (reported by local
news or brought to referendum)
- Advisory group input
- Grant or funding agency requirement(s)
- Educator or natural resource specialist(s) input
- School-identified water education needs
