The Center for Environmental Management of Military Lands (CEMML), based at Colorado State University (CSU), has provided technical services and management support for natural and cultural resource conservation across the United States and beyond for 40 years. Much of our work focuses on military lands, but we collaborate with a wide array of scientists and managers in federal, state, local, Tribal, and non-profit land management. This webinar will provide an overview of CEMML’s core services followed by a few case studies that highlight how CEMML is able to help you move the needle on a variety of land stewardship challenges, such as climate change, wildland fire, management planning and spatial analysis.
