Nick,
If you are looking for collaboration among landowner groups, I think it would be helpful if the participants in this group would identify how they think the groups could or would collaborate. Have them identify how their organization would benefit from or be weakened by collaboration. Also what would have to take place for collaboration to happen?
I think there are reasons why collaboration has been limited, and those reasons can be elicited before the meeting begins. Then if there is interest in making it happen, then the participants could work on that. I think that putting everyone in a room and expecting something to change will have limited success.
My sense is that every group has its own focus and limited resources of time and money to accomplish its goals. They don’t have the time or energy to work towards the other organization’s goals. They would see that as not being focused on their own goals.
Any work that can be done prior to the meeting will make the meeting more productive.
I also made some corrections below.
