Auburn’s CNRMML expands to support military partnerships

Supporting the United States military has been the mission-critical purpose of Auburn University's Center for Natural Resources Management on Military Lands (CNRMML). Since its inception in 2022, the center has established a model partnership with military installations that is redefining how public universities support the military's operations and conservation priorities. In 2026, the CNRMML is now expanding its services to meet the diverse and growing needs of its partners while bolstering the outreach mission of the Auburn College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment (CFWE).
