In order to sustain the environmental resources that are needed for healthy and pleasing communities, we must balance our activities and needs with their associated impact. Cornell Cooperative Extension's (CCE) environment and natural resources programs aim to develop knowledge that will help individuals and communities make decisions and take actions to preserve and enhance environmental quality and human health.

CCE educates communities about water resources; agricultural environmental management, including waste management, and land use management; forestry; wildlife habitat and human interactions; fisheries; lawns and turf; and invasive species.
