The UNLV Public Lands Institute was approved at the April 2005 UCCSN Board of Regents meeting. The UNLV Public Lands Institute will be dedicated to developing public/private partnerships in support of agencies and organizations that protect, conserve, and manage natural and cultural resources.
The Institute will demonstrate responsiveness to its partners’ needs while creating new knowledge, advancing technology, improving education, engaging the public, and providing timely practical solutions. Primarily focusing on southern Nevada, the Institute will establish an organizational structure that will become a fundamental local resource for individuals and agencies addressing issues regarding public lands that surround the fastest growing metropolitan population in the nation. Institute participants with needed expertise will be drawn from UNLV, UCCSN, and our local communities as well as from across the nation and around the world. The Institute will demonstrate a commitment to partnering for research, education, and services to meet the demands of public lands stewardship.
