In addition to the many workshops being held on partnering and working with federal agencies, this room allowed attendees to take time to get the information they need. Invited agencies included: National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Fish and Wildlife Service, US Forest Service, National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, Bureau of Reclamation, Federal Highway Administration, Bureau of Indian Affairs, US Geological Survey, Department of Labor, and the Department of Energy Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.
