| Abstract | The Blackfoot Community Conservation Area (BCCA) was created in response to a degrading natural environment coupled with a weakening community. The BCCA is a community owned 5,609-acre forest located in the heart of the Blackfoot watershed in Western Montana. Fearful of development and the creation of subdivisions, landowners banded together, believing that their combined effort would prove more effective than top-down, government decisions. This study compliments previous research and combines Ostrom’s Institutional Analysis and Development (IAD) framework (2007), and both frameworks for collaborative governance developed by Ansell and Gash (2007) and Weber (2013). The results of this study suggest that the BCCA has been effective and successful in promoting positive environmental changes because of the existence of the main principles of collaborative governance. |
