Extension, Engagement & Economic Development

The Department of Wood & Paper Science (WPS) is pleased to play a key role in fulfilling NC State University’s land grant responsibilities. Our extension mission is to work for economic prosperity, environmental stewardship and an improved quality of life for all North Carolinians. We fulfill our mission by sponsoring or participating in on-going outreach and extension activities that support North Carolina’s economy and its industries and communities — including a renowned Wood Products Co-op Extension Program and numerous industry and community outreach initiatives. Through these and other activities, we educate citizens of all ages on wood products, paper science and forest biomaterials.
