Others

• Idaho Cattle Association: Joint founding partner that proposed the 1994 enabling legislation creating IRRC and a core recurring-assessment funding source; represents the rancher base IRRC educates the public about.
• University of Idaho Rangeland Center: Academic research and extension center at U of I whose dean sits on IRRC's advisory board; both organizations translate rangeland science to ranchers, students, and the public.
• The Nature Conservancy: Large global conservation nonprofit with active Idaho rangeland and grazing-lands programs (including the $11M Lemhi Land Trust easement cited in IRRC's partnerships); addresses overlapping audiences and conservation-easement themes.
• National Cattlemen's Beef Association: National federation of state cattle associations including Idaho Cattle Association; runs industry-funded consumer education and advocacy programs that overlap thematically with IRRC's public-education mission.

Broad incumbents

• Bureau of Land Management: Federal agency that manages roughly 80% of Idaho's rangelands and whose State Director sits on IRRC's advisory board; BLM is the dominant regulator and educator for rangelands in the West and dwarfs IRRC in mandate and budget.
• U.S. Forest Service: Federal agency managing significant Idaho rangelands and contributing Regional Supervisors to IRRC's advisory board; runs its own conservation education and range-management programs at national scale.
• USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service: Federal agency providing technical and financial assistance for rangeland conservation on private lands; NRCS representatives sit on IRRC's advisory board and the agencies run parallel soil, water, and grazing education programs.

• Public Lands Council: National trade association representing ranchers who graze livestock on federal public lands; IRRC's primary stakeholder funding partners (Idaho Cattle Association, Idaho Wool Growers Association) are PLC affiliates. Both operate at the intersection of ranching economics and federal land policy.
• Society for Range Management: Professional society dedicated to the science and management of rangelands; the Idaho Section sits on IRRC's advisory board. Both organizations share a rangeland-education and stewardship mandate and target overlapping rancher, agency, and academic audiences.
