Martin Nie is Professor of Natural Resources Policy and Director of the Bolle Center for People and Forests. His research and teaching focuses on federal public lands and wildlife law, policy and management. He is the author of dozens of scholarly articles, law reviews, two books, and even more applied policy analysis. A central theme of his scholarly work are the challenges and opportunities of managing shared resources that cross boundaries amongst federal, state and tribal sovereign governments. Some of his most recent research and writing focuses on tribal co-management, wildlife conservation on federal lands, and public lands planning. He advises and consults across a broad range of public lands and wildlife issues, especially at the sweet spot where law meets policy and impacts on-the-ground management.
