The Ucross High Plains Stewardship Initiative (UHPSI) fosters land stewardship and conservation in the American West through teaching, research, and outreach. This is primarily achieved through mentoring students on applied research and management projects in collaboration with Western partners. Research and management projects are diverse and interdisciplinary, and address Western conservation challenges. Our broad network of more than fifty partners comprises ranchers, nonprofits, federal and state agencies, and academics. Students engaged with UHPSI develop knowledge and skills in Western issues and natural resource management on private and public lands through our collaborative, experiential-learning framework.
