Program - Land and Water - 2007 (Generated: 09-Feb-10)
Rapid land use changes are causing environmental, economic and social impacts. People have less connection with traditional sues of land. Rural and pristine waters and habitats are at risk and urban water quality remains in need of improvement and/or protection. The general public does not fully understand the consequences of land and water protection and development impacts. There are many opportunities to work together, including interdisciplinary programming opportunities . Existing programs will be expanded to additional audiences and collaboration with other land grant programs in New England will contribute to address this work.
