Educational Opportunities for Youth

Departments within the College of Natural Resources offer many programs that utilize interdisciplinary instructional activities and provide workshops and in-service programs for youths, teachers, environmental educators, and youth leaders. 

Programs are designed to prepare students to make informed decisions about management of natural resources and resource use by stressing how to think about the environment, not what to think.
