A Federal unit (e.g. a Refuge) can utilize any of the 17 CESUs in the Network that the agency has joined. Some federal agencies (BLM, NPS, USGS, NRCS) have joined all the CESUs which allows these agencies to call on the expertise and skills within any CESU for any project. Many Federal units utilize the CESU they are located in because they are familiar with and confident in the expertise and skills that exist at a nearby University.
