Who We Are...

We are faculty and staff with diverse expertise in the environment and natural resources with a commitment to high quality, accessible education programs.

A SENR Extension Directory is available containing biographical information of our personnel and associated professionals, signature programs and publication information. This directory will help Ohio citizens needing one-on-one contact or larger entities needing help to develop and provide educational programs.

What We Do...

We bring the knowledge of the university to your door through research-based educational programs. OSU Extension faculty and staff in the School partner with individuals, communities, businesses, and organizations to promote the conservation and management of our natural resources. We also partner with local and state government and private industry to develop environmental and natural resource plans and policy. Our collaborations include, but are not limited to, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, and Ohio’s Watershed groups. 

We provide information on critical environmental and natural resource issues, and offer lifelong learning through web based education programs, workshops, and presentations.
