Community Toolbox
 |
The
National Park Service's Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance
(RTCA) program helps communities
work together to improve their special places. They've produced
The Community Toolbox, a set of techniques for project development
and community participation. All of the techniques are those that
the program uses and can recommend. These were originally developed
as print pieces and are now in online form. The Tool Box site
is both a resource for any organization collaborating on local
projects as well as a model for creating an online kit of how-to
materials.
The 48 individual tools are presented in an easy-to-read and easy-to-use
format. Both the web site and the hard copy offer suggestions
and guidance for using the techniques in a variety of situations.
