Partnerships

The Center develops long-term partnerships that help agencies and organizations move towards sustainable and resilient approaches. The work is sponsored by organizations and donors who provide financial support for faculty and students to study priority issues. Each collaborative engages a wide range of disciplines to better address the complex issues arising from the interaction of environment, culture and economy.

Leading Partners

Our work would not be possible without the close partnership of many regional organizations, agencies and schools.

Leading partners identify priority regional challenges, provide guidance and expertise, assist in the implementation of solutions. 

Organizations*

Organization partners collaborate on regional initiatives, develop & incorporate lessons learned from outreach events, visit or conduct research at SSU preserves, and assist with preserve management or regulations.
