Our work on the North Rim Ranches includes collaborating with agencies like the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, universities, non-profits, foundations, and local citizens through the Research & Stewardship Partnership. Together, we share resources, use science, and develop best practices for managing public lands.
We bring land managers and scientists together to find the best ways to address drought, climate change, and invasive species.
We develop tools — maps, reports, and data analyses — that help protect and conserve lands on the North Rim Ranches.
We use the North Rim Ranches as an outdoor classroom to teach students and volunteers about our current research projects.
We're looking at everything from how to reduce the spread of wildfire on the Kaibab Plateau, to which plants grow best in hot, dry climates, to what bird and bat species call the ranches home. Take a look at our applied research plan, which identifies top research priorities for the North Rim Ranches.
