DOI: 10.7758/RSF.2022.8.3.08. This research was funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture grant number 2017-67023-26240 and supported by the University of Maine System’s Research Reinvestment Fund. The authors thank Alexa Carleton of the Coos Watershed Association, University of Maine undergraduate research assistants Angelina Buzzelli of the Business School and Liz Capodilupo of Wildlife Ecology, our local steering committees in Maine and Oregon, and the many community partners who helped make this project a success. While they made it a success, the project would not have been possible without the more than two thousand rural youth who shared their feelings and hopes for the future with us: thank you. In addition, the authors thank three anonymous reviewers as well as the editors of this special issue: Shelley Clark of McGill University, Sam Harper of McGill University, and Bruce Weber of Oregon State University. Their comments greatly improved this article. Direct correspondence to: Nicole R.
