Background
The Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (RM-CESU) is a cooperative venture between 29 leading academic programs and NGOs in the Rocky Mountain Region and ten Federal Agencies. The University of Montana serves as host to the RM-CESU. The United States has been divided into 17 biogeographic regions, each served by a distinct CESU, with all regions connected in one National Network. The overriding goal of the CESU Network is to improve the scientific base for managing federal land by providing resource managers with high-quality research, technical assistance and education.
