Landscape Level Integration and Shared Stewardship (LLISS) Team – Regional Office
Alone, the ingredients of landscape-level, integration and shared stewardship seem like quite the recipe. But in March of 2020, the Southern Region’s Landscape-Level Integration and Shared Stewardship (LLISS) team officially hit the ground running with an innovative approach to work in the country.
Our main objectives as a region remained unchanged: to increase integration, create transparency and increase performance accountability. These efforts remain critically important to aligning national and regional priorities of Shared Stewardship and accelerating the pace and scale of restoration.
Since that inception, more than 80 Forest Service employees from the across the Region and the Southern Research Station have come together to ensure successful implementation of the Forest Service mission. The LLISS initiative works as interdisciplinary teams, sub teams and short teams to test the concepts of data-driven decision making to support landscape level integrated management and shared stewardship internally and with external partners.
In October of 2020, the LLISS work began in earnest, doing research across the region, even nationally with other regions to share ideas and generate feedback on how best to apply the LLISS framework. This framework exists to best aid decision makers at all levels across the region in recognizing opportunities and evaluating work, workforce and budget priorities.
The LLISS framework utilizes data to consider local condition and priority when determining where regional priorities align with work on the landscape. Throughout Fiscal Year 21, the Southern Region focused on building the data infrastructure and prioritization criteria for these decisions.
LLISS team members are building resources and tools to more efficiently leverage or improve existing data sources to understand forest conditions across the region and overlay diverse work priorities and initiatives such as forest resilience, water quality, recreation, prescribed burning, Great American Outdoors Act improvements and land acquisitions.
More than 18 months of work has led to an integrated data-sharing approach that has crossed boundaries internally and externally, leading to more holistic project development that meets more customer needs, while ensuring we are doing the right work, in the right place, at the right time, with the right partners. The LLISS initiative has created a safe space for learning and innovation to occur beyond traditional work assignments has rewarded and energized participants.
The LLISS team has been creating new work models for building sub teams and short teams to work across traditional work unit boundaries to tackle challenging questions and create innovative solutions. After action reviews and exit interviews have provided regular feedback that staff involved in these teams report that the LLISS work is among the most exciting, empowering and innovative of their career. Staff are taking these models and applying them forward to address other challenges in the workplace.
Looking into 2022, the LLISS initiative aims to continue supporting regional and national priorities such as tackling climate change, improving the work environment, enhancing recreation opportunities and bettering our forests and grasslands.
Here is another rendition of the last scene. The spikes have been leveled, and the building has been cropped out of the background. A high-pass sharpen has been applied at 15%. Too much? I like the rule-of-thirds balance here.
What do you think? Did the manipulation work to help it maintain its interest?

Update early 2012 - This photo has been sold for an advertising campaign in NZ to warn truckies of the very real and fatal dangers of running the lights at level crossings!

From Wikipedia: The Lethbridge Viaduct, commonly known as the High Level Bridge, was constructed between 1907–1909 at Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada at a cost of $1,334,525. This massive steel trestle over the Oldman River was designed by the Canadian Pacific Railway's bridge department in Montreal. The field work was directed by CPR's Assistant Chief Engineer J. E. Schwitzer. The steel work was manufactured by the Canadian Bridge Company of Walkerville, Ontario. A 100 man gang worked on the erection of the steel. Although there were some initial problems with settlement, the bridge has proved to be an enduring engineering work and is still in use today.
This bridge is the largest railway structure in Canada. It was built as part of a major diversion of the Crowsnest Pass route between Lethbridge and Fort Macleod. The river crossing was previously over a wooden trestle measuring 894 m (2,933 ft) long and 20 m (66 ft) high; an impressive structure in its own right.
The historical site of Neve Ilan is located on a hill about 700 meters above sea level. This hill is part of the Judean Hills that slope downward from Kiryat Yaarim to the Ayalon Valley.
The site was established 12 km west of Jerusalem and 6km east of Sha'ar Hagay near Route 1 (the main Tel Aviv Jerusalem Highway) with a spectacular panoramic view of the Judean Hills on the one side and the coastal plain up to the Mediterranean Sea on the other.
The Neve Ilan Kibbutz Outpost was founded in October 1946 and settled by 31youngsters – 17 boys and 14 girls - mainly Holocaust survivors and veterans of the anti-Nazi Maquis resistance movement from France. In 1944, wanted by the Nazis they fled to Spain and from there sailed to Palestine.
Kibbutz Neve Ilan was a vital base for the Palmach and for the protection of the area during the struggle for the convoys to move to Jerusalem. Also an important communications position when the contact between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem was lost. As part of Operation "Maccabi" (8 May 1948) Palmach fighters came to Neve Ilan to prepare for the occupation of the village of Bayt Saris and the western approach to Sha'ar Hagai. Around the 15th of May, 1948, during fierce battles for the road to Jerusalem, a generator was brought, lighting the hill and a fence surrounding it, thus proclaiming "Here exists a Jewish settlement."
