Nevada, the Institute’s mission is to advance applied research and

ecological literacy through community engagement and agency partnerships to

support national parks, forests, open spaces and public lands.

Preservation and documentation of cultural resources is imperative to

public lands management and maintaining the integrity of important historic

sites and artifacts. Great Basin Institute partners with various public

agencies and other non-profit organizations to support cultural resource

management. Projects may involve archaeological field surveys, site

preservation, management of archival resources, museum exhibits and
