The Institute operates through three core program areas: Land Trends, Land Stewardship and Natural Resource Conservation and Policy. Each program area is supported by a portfolio of projects that advance its specific mission. By strategically integrating research, geospatial analysis, and business services, we ensure timely, forward-thinking approaches to program implementation.

Strong, strategic collaborations make our work possible. We foster robust partnerships within and across all program areas, driving solutions through discovery, stewardship, engagement, and innovation.
