Extension & Outreach
Our Extension work expands our school to Nebraska communities in need for digestible, usable natural resource information. Our resources help grow the understanding of our natural world; answer questions that affect lives; and connect people with information that leads to decisions.

Climate
The latest climate data and decision making tools from our state, regional, and national climate centers.

Geology
Geologic mapping, studies of soils, sediments, sedimentary rocks, ancient environments and ancient life on Earth relevant to Nebraska.

Groundwater
Resources related to the quantity, quality and integrated management of groundwater in Nebraska.

Nebraska One Health
One Health focuses on the health of humans, animals (wild and domestic), plants and our shared environments.

People ∓ Environment
How people can help save and enjoy resources and species and co-manage natural resources to meet the needs of the resource and humans.

Remote Sensing
Research and instructional activities in remote sensing, geographic information systems, and automated cartography.

Surface Water
Resources on stormwater management, watershed, lakes, ponds, and streams of Nebraska.


Wildlife
A Nebraskan's guide to wildlife damage, identification, diseases, and conservation resources.


Outreach
Our faculty and staff take seriously our role in giving back to the community around us and inspiring future natural resources leaders. We enthusiastically present on topics ranging from climate to conservation, the environment to water, to a broad range of audiences, age 5 to 105.
Since 2007, we’ve partnered with Clinton Elementary School — just up the street from Hardin Hall — for an annual winter donation drive. The supplies we collect helps provide warm coats and clothes, as well as basic toiletries, to the nearly 500 children who attend school there.
We also regularly host community-engagement events, including documentary nights featuring expert discussions that take a deep dive into tough conservation issues where the "right" answer isn’t clear cut. Our goal is that you walk away as inspired by natural resources as we are.
