Participants & Partners

The Reynolds Field Station seeks out participants and partners who join us in mutually beneficial relationships that support our mission as well as theirs. To date, we have formal agreements with two institutions (Perot Museum of Nature and Science, and New Mexico State University). We also have informal relationships with strategic partners with whom we collaborate and share our vision in focused areas of development, such as with Dr. Darryl Reano at Arizona State University, for Indigenous Outreach. We fully anticipate that our partnerships will expand as we invite more institutions to collaborate in our inter-disciplinary research, and expand into new areas of research such as biology, for example. We also plan to actively increase our educational outreach participants.
