Environmental Collaboration is at the heart of resolving many of the West's most intractable issues:  energy development, natural resource use, conflicting lifestyles, water shed development, protection of wildlife and endangered species.  The La Jolla Center has been at the heart of these issues for many years.  Dick Bayer is one of the few collaborators and facilitators listed on the Red Lodge Clearing House site in California.
