Extension Programs
People make decisions every day that impact natural resource use and management, whether it's a consumer choice (e.g., "Will that be paper or plastic?") or a municipality adopting a forestry ordinance.
Extension in the Department of Ecosystem Science and Management helps people make informed decisions that improve their own well-being and ensure clean water, viable populations of native wildlife, recreational opportunities, attractive communities, and the sustainable production of wood and paper products.
