The Chihuahuan Desert Rangeland Research Center is a premier outdoor research facility located just north of Las Cruces, dedicated to advancing sustainable rangeland and livestock management in arid and semi-arid ecosystems. Situated within the heart of the Chihuahuan Desert, the Center serves as a living laboratory where scientists, students, and producers collaborate to study grazing systems, forage ecology, soil health, water use, and livestock behavior. Through long-term research and applied science, the Center supports resilient agricultural practices that strengthen ranching operations and conserve natural resources across the Southwest.
Combining knowledge gained from the past with tools of the future to improve ranch management, rangeland productivity, and ecosystem health.
The Chihuahuan Desert Rangeland Research Center conducts educational, demonstrative, and experimental development with livestock, grazing methods, and range forage, including investigation of the sustainability and management of natural resources and environmental ecosystems.
