Natural Resource ExtensionNatural resources are vital to our economy and quality of life. Education is often touted as the key to effective, sustainable natural resource management. Doing that requires a variety of creative approaches to educat-ing landowners, managers, decision mak-ers, and youth.

I joined ANREP because . . .

...in my work in a new subject area —sus-tainable living — I needed advice from colleagues in many fields - forestry, environ-mental ed, biology, energy. What other orga-nization offers such a range of expertise? (Viviane Simon-Brown, Oregon State Univ.)

...I want to have a voice in what’s going on in my profession at the national level (Mike Kuhns, Utah State Univ.)

...I’ve gained access to a great pool of knowledge, a place to go where they “talk my language,” and a group of co-workers who believe what we are doing is worth do-ing. (Adam Downing, Penn State Univ.)

...natural resources is a “growth area” for Cooperative Extension, and ANREP is a professional organization that ensures that natural resources is represented within ex-tension. (Gary Goff, Cornell Univ.)
