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.
Re-creating Public Land Recreation
On Tuesday, April 18th, the Andrus Center will host an in-person environmental conference focused on recreation and public lands with an eye towards resolving tensions and furthering best practices. Public lands act as anchoring institutions for surrounding communities. This conference, Re-creating Public Land Recreation, is designed to encourage actions and discussion toward both long and short term actions to better support and create mutually beneficial relationships between recreationists and public lands.
