Resource Renewal Institute advances innovative solutions to complex environmental challenges.
Supported by a deep professional network, 40 years of real-world experience, and innovative collaborations, Resource Renewal Institute works to advance environmental leadership and solve complex environmental challenges with inventive land and water management.
Resource Renewal Institute is small and agile by design. We are nonprofit and nonpartisan. An old-fashioned conservation ethic permeates our work as we embrace technology and new ideas. We accept that innovation often entails uncertainty. We are comfortable taking positions and risks that larger and more staid organizations are not. Unlike many organizations, we take on conflict when it’s justified.
With support from bold, private funders, Resource Renewal Institute has successfully nurtured and fledged new programs, strategies, and leaders that have become catalysts for change.
