National Association of
State Universities and Land Grant Colleges (NASULGC) Section
on Ecology
CSREES coordinates with the National Association
of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges
(NASULGC) section on Ecology. The purpose
of the Section
on Ecology is to promote university-based
programs in the ecological sciences, and
to ensure that the nation maintains and benefits
from a strong and diverse academic capability
in all aspects of ecology. It monitors and
supports budgets for a variety of federal
natural resources agencies and programs,
including providing Congressional briefings.
The ecology section is one of five sections
within the NASULGC Board on Natural Resources,
which is itself one of five boards within
the Commission on Food, Environment, and
Natural Resources. The ecology section, made
up of representatives from state and land-grant
and other universities, assembles at the
NASULGC annual meeting and carries on activities
throughout the year to promote university-based
programs dealing with ecological issues.
