The kick-off of the 2026 Spring CESU Online Seminar Series: Science of the Intermountain CESUs
The Rocky Mountains CESU welcomes the Colorado Plateau and Desert Southwest CESUs to the 2026 Online Seminar Series. Each of our CESUs has selected a project and researcher to underscore the diverse range of good science that is accomplished through our networks, and the impact it is has on management decisions.

Join us on March 12, 2:00PM MST for a talk with Hayley Johnson, a recent University of Montana graduate, exploring how social science can help manage growing recreation demand on public lands. Drawing on research from Yellowstone National Park, the Stephen Mather Wilderness, and other sites across the American West, this presentation highlights how visitor use data-past and present -can inform more effective and equitable.
