Andrus Center for Public Policy
The Andrus Center for Public Policy advances the legacy issues of former Idaho Governor and Secretary of the Interior, Cecil D. Andrus — wise use of our environmental resources and public lands, proper funding of education for our children and the cultivation of leadership from all segments of our society. The Andrus Center provides a nationally respected forum for addressing vital public policy issues of our time.
What We Do
Our well-attended events highlight independent, nonpartisan engagement on critical issues confronting Idaho, the American West, and the United States.
The Sawtooth NRA at 50: Our Legacy and Future Challenges

The report follows the Center’s online conference, The Sawtooth NRA at 50: Our Legacy and Future Challenges, which took place on May 24th, 2022. The conference convened a series of keynote speakers and panels that included many of the diverse perspectives on the Sawtooth National Recreation Area’s past and future challenges. Recordings of this event are available.
