Vision: All Oregonians are environmentally literate and share our natural resources equitably.
Mission: Oregon Natural Resources Education Program supports formal and non-formal educators with learner-centered, natural resources education. We center equity, diversity, and inclusion in our work to connect Oregonians with nature.

The mission of the Oregon Naturalist program is to increase knowledge, sense of place, and connection to the natural environment for all Oregonians. The program provides transformative, science-based, experiential learning in outdoor settings, and encourages service that protects and supports ecosystems and community wellbeing in Oregon.

The OSU Extension Master Gardener program uses gardening and horticulture education to build more connected, healthy, and resilient communities. We provide accessible and equitable education programs that nurture life-long learners and volunteers who can expand the reach and impact of science-based sustainable gardening practices to benefit all Oregonians.
