Parks & Partners

Rocky Mountain National Park is the host of the Continental Divide Research Learning Center (CDRLC) and provides funding and oversight. Many other organizations come together to fulfill the mission of the CDRLC through cooperation, partnerships, and sharing of resources. Our partner organizations include other NPS and federal offices, non-profits, and educational institutions. Youth partnerships with local schools play a key role in our community science and internship programs. The CDRLC also works with international partners including Rocky Mountain National Park's Sister Parks, Tatra National Park (Poland and Slovakia), and Arenal-Tempisque Conservation Area which includes the Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve (Costa Rica). Some of these key partners are listed below.
