About the Public Lands Institute
The Public Lands Institute began as a university initiative in April 2004, when Dr. Peg Rees, Associate Vice President for Research and Outreach, learned the federal land management agencies in Clark County needed to create new partnerships to implement projects funded by the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act (SNPLMA) of 1998.
The Nevada System of Higher Education Board of Regents elevated the initiative to institute status in April 2005. Staff of the Public Lands Institute report to the Office of the Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies.
