"What has made me most proud about my involvement with 4FRI is the team's ability to work with the collaborative group by explaining our perspective and incorporating their best ideas. Personally, I am most proud of my attempts to tell our story spatially to the collaborative group. I have been able to display our vision of landscape restoration and compare our vision with that of the rest of the stakeholders group. I hope that comparison has shown that we are really not that far apart in our ideas of restoration."
-- Mark Nigrelli, 4FRI GIS Specialist
