NREM Extension Program

Welcome to the Oklahoma State University Extension Forestry, Wildlife, Rangeland and Aquaculture Web Site!!

Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service fulfills Oklahoma State University’s land-grant mission by providing people with information necessary to improve their quality of life.  As part of the Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, Extension is one of the three primary University obligations: Teaching, Research, and Extension.  Extension is essentially any education delivered outside of the traditional university classroom setting.   

Within the Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management (NREM), Extension expertise is available in aquaculture, forestry, range, and wildlife science.  Specifically, NREM Extension enables stakeholders to understand natural resources in order to effectively manage their resources on a sustainable basis, and to increase productivity and efficiency through landowner and manufacturer education.  NREM Extension personnel develop and maintain mutually beneficial collaborations with other University, government agencies, non-government organizations, and private entities to enhance educational opportunities and programs.  Additionally, NREM Extension promotes effective leadership within the natural resources arena, which includes professional organizations, commodity groups, and private entities, resulting in significant impacts at the local, county, state, and regional levels.  Finally, NREM Extension provides natural resource educational opportunities to youth through programs such as 4-H.  These programs are designed to promote good stewardship of our natural resources and build the leaders of tomorrow.
