“…This is particularly important for groups under pressure to quantify outputs and outcomes from conservation investments. For example, newsletters were found to be the preferred outreach method in the survey and research has shown that newsletters can be an effective and useful information dissemination method that reaches a wide audience in a cost effective manner (Nelson 1986, Riley et al 1991. However, newsletters cannot provide in-depth information about specific restoration practices, and documenting the effectiveness of a newsletter in producing conservation outcomes is often impossible.…”

Collaborative watershed management initiatives have increased tremendously over the past decade. One of the critical questions for these initiatives is how to influence private land management practices to improve watershed health. This article researches landowner motivations and preferences for watershed restoration efforts in five watersheds in Western Oregon. Based on a survey of 446 landowners and 80 personal interviews, the research revealed that landowner perspectives vary by socio-economic, cultural, and land use characteristics. They are strongly motivated by a concern for future generations and interpersonal influence is particularly important. Finances, time, and unfamiliarity were all significant barriers to the adoption of conservation practices. The findings also revealed considerable variation among landowners as to their trusted sources of information and preferred outreach methods. Beyond the findings in Oregon, the research suggests that watershed initiatives need to understand landowner characteristics and motivating factors to better promote watershed restoration and target outreach efforts.watershed management, landowner behavior, community-based collaboratives,

“…A dual educational and support focus to programs seems to often prove less threatening and more helpful to these family units. In fact, in one study 70% of the at-risk families surveyed reported reading regularly newsletters that were furnished to them on relevant parenting subjects (Riley et al, 1991). Even noncustodial fathers from these divorced units have been found to be more involved with their children and communicate more effectively after such an educational group (Sloan, Devlin, Brown, Beebe & Pasulis, 1992).…”

Social work practitioners today are having to deal with ever-increasing numbers of families falling into the at risk category. At the same time, the issues and problems facing these family units are often overwhelming and challenging to resolve. The E.S.S.E. Group Model, outlined in this article, is a new research based approach that was designed to address the most relevant concerns facing families today. It is a unique program that combines family life education within a support group framework. Initially, the model was developed for several school districts in the midwest.Counseling personnel had identified a need for a parent training program that would elicit higher levels of participation. The E.S.S.E. Model accomplishes that goal through its structured yet individualized curriculum along with its parallel and conjoint group set-up. The specific content and process guidelines of this new approach make it easy for clinicians to duplicate in a wide variety of settings. One of the model's curriculums is outlined in detail in this article.Readers will find that the E.S.S.E. program serves as an excellent example of the type of group intervention needed today to help revitalize at-risk families.
