Public Interest
People make decisions every day that affect natural resource use and management, whether it's a consumer choice (e.g., "Will that be paper or plastic?") or an educational choice (e.g., "How can I help the environment?"). Too often, people either do not think about their connection to natural resources, or they have insufficient information for making informed decisions.
We help 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. In addition, through 4-H and youth programs we educate youth about ecology and the environment.
