Past Institutes

Since 1995, IJNR has conducted more than 70 Institutes throughout North America. We've taken journalists from the icy coastal waters of Alaska to the deserts of the Southwest to the industrialized rivers of the Great Lakes Basin. We've weathered snowstorms on mountain passes, Nor'easters on North Carolina's Outer Banks, and flooded dirt roads. We've met with farmers, fishermen, loggers, ranchers, policy makers, biologists, geologists, industry representatives, tribal leaders, urban developers, mining engineers, and concerned citizens. We've howled with wolves, fished for our dinner, spied on grizzly bears, braved cormorant colonies, and ridden on horseback into the wilderness.
