Extension faculty and staff, Land Steward volunteers, and local partners work together to provide educational workshops, classes, activities, and services. We tailor these to the unique needs of our region, natural resources, and the people in our communities.
The Land Steward program demonstrates innovative, adult education through peer-to-peer learning opportunities and the collaborative blending of education and technical assistance.
The program also offers a wide variety of classes, conferences, and events on rural living, covering topics suggested by our community.
We foster an active community of Land Stewards supporting each other to achieve their dreams for their land.
Oregon State University's land grant mission drives us to conduct research and share research-based education to improve economic vitality and promote personal and environmental health.
The OSU Land Steward Program supports a diverse community of land stewards, united by a common care for the land, coming together to share resources, experiences, and connection to place. We believe that inclusion, diversity, and equality are integral to the success of our program. We are committed to equality across gender, race, sexual identity, ability, and age.
We believe that if participants feel empowered to bring their authentic selves to the program, the Land Steward Program will better reflect the communities in which we serve. We invite you to join us in our mission of responsible natural resource management.
