The Public Policy Research Institute believes that the most effective way to build livable communities, vibrant economies, and healthy environments is through collaboration and conflict resolution. To this end, we

• Help citizens and officials solve tough public policy issues by creating forums that bring together the right people with the best available information.
• Inform and invigorate stewardship efforts by conducting applied research; and
• Train future leaders in collaboration and conflict resolution.

Announcing: The 32nd Annual Public Land Law Conference has been scheduled for September 22-24, 2008 in Missoula, MT. See our Projects page for more information.
