SageWest: A Sagebrush Communications Network
Launched in 2016, the SageWest Network is focused on advancing communications and encouraging outreach activities that support collaboration within, and effective conservation efforts happening across the sagebrush ecosystem. Members of SageWest represent a wide range of perspectives, thus present a unique opportunity to amplify existing work and strengthen relationships. SageWest endeavors to utilize its members’ strengths to elevate the broader American public’s awareness and appreciation for sagebrush country. SageWest is an apolitical communications platform that brings diverse interests and expertise together.
Becoming a Member of the SageWest Network:
Members of SageWest are those individuals/entities who are actively engaged in sagebrush country – through use and the conservation of this landscape and its resources, involved in its management, conducting research, and/or developing or interested in policies that pertain to it.
Members must first agree to the network’s terms of use, then they are added to a listserv that uses a single email address to reach the wide variety of members with relevant information. In addition, members receive monthly contact information for all participants. Both of these are purposeful avenues to facilitate information sharing and promote partnership opportunities between the many entities that are interested in a sustainable future for this ecosystem.
The leadership of SageWest also generate and/or facilitate the production of a variety of communication projects and tools in order to advance public awareness about sagebrush country, such as a quarterly newsletter, photo and video resources, and periodic social media campaigns.
