Enhancing Extension Agent Skills in the Delivery of Conservation Education. Extension Agents working with youth often have a background in traditional agriculture or home economics. Because of this, and a lack of past encouragement, they are sometimes reluctant to incorporate conservation education and natural resources programs into their Plans of Work. Regular in-service offerings on Natural Resources and Youth Education topics are helping to expand youth involvement across the state. This is an area with tremendous potential for program expansion.
