About us - Cornell University Cooperative Extension - Department of Natural Resources
Building on our Land Grant heritage, DNR faculty and staff contribute to a comprehensive set of extension, outreach, and public service programs. Drawing on the department's teaching and research programs, outreach occurs in a variety of forms ranging from highly organized extension programs to applied research activities, and from individuals contracting for technical services to volunteers serving on various professional committees and administrative boards. Most DNR faculty members have had opportunities to contribute to formal extension programs, for example, by giving presentations at inservice trainings, consulting with CCE Educators, and incorporating high school teachers into their research laboratories during the summer. In addition, many faculty contribute to outreach efforts independent of extension, such as giving workshops for state agency professionals and serving in leadership roles in professional organizations.
Our specific programming areas are grouped within three broad categories which address relevant issues statewide.
