Crown of the Continent Research Learning Center | ||||
|
||||
The
Crown of the Continent Research Learning Center (CCRLC) was developed
in 2002 as part of the National Park Service's Natural
Resource Challenge, a broad initiative within the NPS to provide
a vision and a mechanism for park's to revitalize and expand their natural
resource programs. The Challenge responds to the realization that the
charge of the NPS, to preserve America's natural resources for the enjoyment
of present and future generations, requires an active and informed management
to a degree unimaginable when the agency was formed in 1916.
Two fundamental aims of the Challenge are to 1) link management decisions more closely with scientific research results and 2) build integrated knowledge sharing relationships with educational institutions and the public. CCRLC projects are developed within this context and are carried out through collaboration among government, academia, educational institutions, public interest, and private citizens, all of whom are committed to understanding and preserving the Crown's natural, social, and cultural heritage ![]() Contacts: |
