Who we are:

The Center for Urban Ecology (CUE) identifies and responds to the natural resource needs of the National Capital Region (NCR), located in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area.

What we do:

The CUE staff focuses on urban ecology within the matrix of the region's nationally significant natural and cultural resources. Through science, service, and partnerships, CUE assists managers in understanding, protecting, and restoring natural resources for future generations.

Challenges we face:

With the continued development and population growth throughout the area, natural resources are fragmented within urban and suburban landscapes, and are often highly impacted.

Our expertise:

CUE has the unique ability to advise, manage, and support projects at both the national and regional level through a professional interdisciplinary team that provides comprehensive science and technical support to park resource managers.

The Center for Urban Ecology's mission, as an interdisciplinary team, is to provide scientific guidance, technical assistance and education for the preservation, conservation and enhancement of park resources within urbanizing landscapes.
