Center for Environment and Natural Resource Policy

The Center was established in 1984 to conduct interdisciplinary studies on the management and use of natural resources and our environment. Its mission is to provide timely, scientific, and objective data and analysis on policies and programs that impact natural resources and environmental management in Minnesota and the surrounding region. The Center has the capability to conduct policy, economic, administrative, planning and management assessments, and uses a number of venues such as reports conferences, symposia, and seminars to fulfill its mission. The Center draws on faculty members from a variety of units across the University of Minnesota to match skills and expertise with project needs.
