Private lands research

Both federal and state conservation agencies have increased efforts to provide resources for wildlife on private properties. With this increased interest, many wildlife ecologists have endeavored to develop approaches to manage landscapes in ways that both provide resources for humans and wildlife.  Using this more sustainable approach will require considerable understanding as to how the development of human resources interacts with the ability of the landscape to support wildlife populations. The greatest opportunity to support wildlife on private lands lies with 3 primary land users.

3 primary land users:

  • Carbon-free Energy Producers

    1

  • Private and Commercial Sustainable Forestry

    2

  • Agriculture

    3


    The CWSR aspires to work with each of these landowner groups to help develop management approaches that support resources for wildlife while achieving their primary purpose of producing energy, wood products, food, and fiber.
