Natural Resource Management

The Environmental & Resource Management Agent for Rutgers Cooperative Extension serves Ocean and Atlantic Counties, developing educational and outreach programming in water quality protection, sustainable landscapes, and watershed management. They work in collaboration with watershed groups, municipal committees, county residents, and local growers active on the Jersey shore to protect our environment and natural resources. 

Several programs are currently underway, including research and education on the causes of soil compaction, outreach to coastal communities on recycling wetsuits, working with municipalities to educate residents on water conservation, and partnering with Jersey-Friendly Yards to support homeowners looking for environmentally friendly landscaping.
