Participants have identified five broad action strategies as they work together on common goals and crossborder projects.

• Developing an identity for the region as a single whole, and supporting economic growth and cultural empowerment in the surrounding communities.
• Providing a forum for separate groups to plan and work together on projects that reach beyond their separate borders and to build mutual respect and understanding.
• Cooperating in the areas of scientific research and management, and promoting the region as a global scientific research opportunity. An example of an issue needing cooperation is Climate Change.
• Joining forces in education, outreach, and support for public lands in the Heart of the Continent region.
• Sharing resources for capital improvements such as trail development and maintenance.
