In 2024, the Katahdin Collaborative hired the Data Innovation Project, from the University of Southern Maine, to conduct an evaluation of the Katahdin Region Outdoor Collective (KROC). The evaluation was designed to answer evaluation questions about the KROC program’s implementation process and impact from its first three years of operation.
