Mission

The University Cooperative for Readiness and Conservation provides a programmatic framework to deliver training, conservation, and solutions that the Department of Defense (DoD) and its partners require to protect and sustain the operational mission footprint, natural resources and rural communities.

Train

Want to stand out to those hiring for natural resource positions within military bases?

The Certificate in Military Sustainability is a unique web-based graduate program (non-thesis) that provides students with an understanding of the interrelationships among ecology, economics, policy and culture, as factors that influence natural resource conservation and management on military lands.

 

Coming together is a beginning.  Keeping together is progress.  Working together is Success.
