Center for Land Use Interpretation



"THE CENTER FOR LAND USE INTERPRETATION is a research organization involved in exploring, examining, and understanding land and landscape issues. The Center employs a variety of methods to pursue its mission - engaging in research, classification, extrapolation, and exhibition."

Really impressive organization, Be sure to check out the land use database, which is an on-line computer database of unusual and exemplary sites throughout the United States. It is a free public resource, designed to educate and inform the public about the function and form of the National landscape, a terrestrial system that has been altered to accommodate the complex demands of our society.

Learn/see everything from the inner-workings of the LA waste management system, to the history of the now closed "largest solar energy plant.

surely an important resource.
