ABSTRACT
BARC is the primary group charged with communicating the HHRAP. Th ey are a citizen group which allows citizens to speak to citizens about HHRAP progress and issues (Hartig et al. 1996, Law and Hartig 1993, Mehan III 2011, Stringer et al. 2006). BARC has enjoyed good leadership both at the staff and board levels over the years and as a result it has been a meaningful group to mobilize public and political interest. Part of BARC’s success is it takes responsibility for implementing some educational and stewardship programs in addition to communication. It has become the place where private citizens can get involved with the HHRAP.
