SFRC Extension Faculty & Staff
The School’s Extension Programs are coordinated by faculty and staff with active extension programs in agroforestry, ecotourism, fisheries and aquatic sciences, forest stewardship, urban forestry, wildland-urban interface, wood utilization and youth education. Our aim is to expand current programs to emphasize non-traditional uses of forests, ecological functions of forests and water resources, wildland-urban interface issues, and integration of our forest and aquatic extension programs. Much of this is acheived with resources generated through creative partnering and grants.
