Tools and Resources

A variety of practical tools can be used to foster regional collaboration. These tools help to identify and link interested parties; create forums to develop common understanding and shared sense of place and vision for the future; lead to working partnerships, pooled resources, and cooperative projects; and eventually may lead to formal regional organizations. There are also several publications with interesting information about the Crown of the Continent. See the Tool Box for a list of publications about the Crown, a PowerPoint slide show, photos, and more. Go to the Geotourism MapGuide which identifies what is special about the Crown, tells the stories and captures the pride that local residents feel for this globally significant region.
