Projects and Conferences

The Ruckelshaus Institute serves as a "clearing house" of scientific information related to Wyoming and the West's environment and natural resources. The Institute also routinely partners, convenes and assists others in natural resource science, collaboration and consensus building.
 
From its inception, the Institute has taken on a diversity of projects, varying in duration, subject and intensity. Through its work, the Institute hopes to improve the quality of the public debate on these environment and natural resource issues.  Institute projects include:
