This report provides a summary of the discussion from a session that was facilitated by Stratos and the Parks Canada Agency on October 1st, 2010. It presents an overview of the challenges commonly experienced by environmental evaluators as well as notable best practices for completing environmental evaluations at three stages: planning, collecting evidence, and reporting. It is intended to document five challenges and five success factors commonly experienced by the environmental evaluation community, and to provide a basis for further discussion at next year’s Environmental Evaluators Networking Forum.
