Extension in Oregon. Educational leadership for sustainability

Abstract

Numerous public and private forestry organizations in Oregon work in educational partnership. Through its extension program, Oregon State University provides educational leadership statewide through more than 25 faculty members who collectively implement goals resulting from a comprehensive strategic planning process. New annual initiatives emerge from needs-based assessments that frequently use innovative tools and strategies leading to durable core programs. Sustainable forestry on private land continues to be a major goal through development of new policies and organizations.
