Our mission focuses on research and education that concerns interrelationships between natural and human-built systems. In keeping with this mission, the Institute organizes educational programs and coordinates with other non-profit institutions to develop workshops, conferences, and public forums. The Wright-Ingraham Institute has participated, in the past, in resource management by holding conservation easements. We also provide small annual grants to 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organizations that share our common goals and concerns.
