The Western Governors' Association's Forest Health Advisory Committee (FHAC) sought answers to questions on how large scale forest treatment collaboratives are doing throughout the West. They were particularly interested in finding out where groups of different stakeholders were finding 'zones of agreement', what successes they are having, and what barriers they face. In February, 2010 we undertook a survey of representatives of large scale treatment collaboratives throughout the West. It was decided to do 'key informant' interviews in which very knowledgeable people are interviewed to get their insights into a problem or question. A questionnaire was developed with open-ended questions allowing the key informants to talk about their perceptions. Names of potential interviewees were submitted by members of the FHAC. In all, 21 representatives were interviewed either via telephone or by filling out the questionnaire and returning it. Representatives of groups were chosen to have a geographic distribution across the West and also as representatives of different stakeholder groups. This paper presents the results of the interviews. The paper presents a picture, or a 'temperature taking', of how things are going in collaboratives in 2010. Answers are grouped under the headings of each question. Because questions were open-ended, interviewees were able to interpret the question in their own way, and did not necessarily answer the questions in the same way. Quotes from the interviewees are presented to give a more full view of what they are saying about working in collaborative groups. Since we were talking to key people who are very involved in collaboratives and working in the field of forest health for long periods of time, it is not necessary to have many people give the same answer for an answer to be important. Every answer given in this survey format is important.
