As natural resource managers continue to face complex problems, cross-boundary stewardship among multiple jurisdictions becomes increasingly important. Cooperation is one strategy for achieving stewardship across boundaries, and understanding different types of cooperative interactions is essential for managers to effectively work together. This research evaluates and defines cross-boundary stewardship interactions through semi-structured interviews and document analysis in a case study of the greater Rocky Mountain National Park ecosystem, Colorado, USA, focusing on wetland management. Results are visualized through a social network categorizing interaction-types and used to build upon an existing framework for the three types of cooperative interactions—communication, coordination, and collaboration. Patterns of interactions based on entity-type are identified and recommendations provided to determine the type of interaction best suited to an entities’ goals. This study builds upon the growing body of cooperation theory literature, while applying the theory to a real-world case study and providing conceptual clarity for managers
