Abstract
With over 150,000 environmental educators and communicators in the United States, environmental communication has become one of the fastest‐growing areas within scientific and technical communication. Environmental communicators are frequently called upon to facilitate or otherwise participate in deliberations about environmental policy in which the role of the public is a central concern. This article poses four models for public participation and presents a case study of the application of one model to regional deliberations about environmentally sustainable development.Keywords
