Great Basin Institute to Support Rosewood Nature Study Area
The City of Reno is proud to announce that the Great Basin Institute (GBI) will provide interim stewardship of the Rosewood Nature Study Area, ensuring the site remains open and accessible for the community to enjoy.
Founded in Reno in 1998, GBI has a long history of advancing environmental research, education, and conservation. Their mission aligns closely with the City's commitment to protecting and enhancing Rosewood as a treasured community resource.
Under this one-year partnership, GBI will oversee limited site operations while the City conducts a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process to determine long-term management.
The Rosewood site provides GBI with an opportunity to expand its Nevada Conservation Corps program, which had outgrown its existing administrative and operational spaces.
"We were seeking expanded space to support our programs, and this relationship with the City is a win-win," said GBI CEO Peter Woodruff. "The City of Reno has been making our transition seamless. We're honored to ensure the Rosewood Nature Study Area remains available to the public and protected for future enjoyment by the community.
Future restoration plans for the Rosewood Nature Study Area have not yet been determined, as GBI's current site support is focused on maintaining public access to the trail system.
"The Rosewood Nature Study Area is a unique and beloved space where our community can connect with the great outdoors," said Nathan Ullyot, City of Reno Parks and Recreation Director. "We're excited to welcome GBI as a partner during this transition period, and we're confident their expertise will help us keep the site thriving for residents and visitors of all ages."
