We strive to provide a range of capacity building and planning support for planners, public officials, and others working with gateway communities to address challenges.
Online GNAR Community Toolkit
The GNAR Online Community Toolkit is designed to be a resource for planners, public officials, community members, consultants, and others working in communities with access to significant natural amenities and recreation opportunities. The toolkit provides resources, case studies, model ordinances, and other tools to help GNAR communities plan for and respond to the unique planning, transportation, economic, community development, and sustainability challenges and opportunities they face.

The GNAR Network
The GNAR Network provides a forum where representatives of gateway communities can meet, share ideas, and identify immediate and high-priority needs that would allow them to make more informed decisions to protect the well-being of their residents and their local economies.
We are building the Network by engaging elected officials, city and county planners, economic development and tourism specialists, and others from gateway communities in interactive webinars and peer-to-peer learning sessions. We strive to provide participants an opportunity to share their experiences with each other, work together to problem solve, and clarify specific, high-priority needs.

The GNAR Academy
The GNAR Academy is an online learning library that seeks to fill in the gap between what community leaders have the capacity for, and what their communities need, by providing accessible training to help community leaders better understand their challenges, introduce them to resources and best practices for addressing them, and leave knowing how to better advocate for their own needs.
