Mission Statement
UNH Cooperative Extension strengthens people and communities in New Hampshire by providing trusted knowledge, practical education and cooperative solutions.
Description
In the Natural Resources Stewards Program, part of UNH Cooperative Extension, participants gain a comprehensive understanding of natural resources stewardship by learning about tree identification, planting, and care; forest types and the wildlife that lives within them; permaculture; ecological landscaping; land conservation and protection; wetlands; invasive species; volunteer roles and opportunities in NH communities, and many more topics essential to the well-being of the state’s natural resources.
In exchange for receiving college-level education, participants are asked to complete 40 hours of volunteer service within two years in their own communities or through a partnering agency’s program.
