Extension programs educate decision-makers, managers, and the public in the management and use of renewable natural resources including wildlife, fisheries, rangelands, forest, watersheds, and other landscapes in both private and public ownership. These programs emphasize the sustainable use of natural resources, environmental protection, and public policy issues, as well as resource assessment, monitoring and management.

Within program areas, reporting categories focus on specific issues, topics, crops or animal products. Working groups plan, implement, and evaluate projects and activities within the reporting category. They are led by "coordinators", which may be the State Extension Specialist or another Extension faculty member with expertise in that area.

Campus-based partners include the School of Natural Resources, Office of Arid Lands Studies, Departments of Plant Sciences, Entomology, Soil, Water and Environmental Sciences, Agricultural and Resource Economics, Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering, and the Water Resources Research Center.
