The Institute's work has extended into 23 different states, including virtually all of the Western states along with Alaska, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, as well as Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico.
Several projects are national or multi-state in scope.
The issues involved in these cases and projects include wildlife and wilderness management, recreational use of, and access to, public lands, endangered species, marine protected areas, watershed management, ecosystem restoration, wetlands protection, and urban infrastructure planning. Through these efforts, the Institute is providing useful services to federal agencies and is proving to be a valuable resource for all parties in conflict over environmental and natural resource issues.
