definition: The Penn State School of Forest Resources research center and programs: Center for Watershed Stewardship The Center's purpose is to create the next generation of watershed professionals by combining interdisciplinary capabilities with strong disciplinary bases in a community-oriented context. The Center's programs include graduate studies in watershed stewardship and a continuing education program of short-courses for natural resources professionals and community leaders. Conservation Leadership School If you like the outdoors and would like to learn more about conserving our forests, wildlife, and water, this program just might be for you. CLS emphasizes leadership and applying it to current conservation issues. Students should be 15 to 18 years old and have a real interest in conservation and the environment. Forest Stewardship Program The Forest Stewardship Program is a voluntary program to help forestland owners learn how to improve and maintain the ecological health of their land. You get to decide what you want to do on your land, and the Forest Stewardship Program links you with the people who can help you do it correctly! Since 1990, the program has been funded in all 50 states by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service. In Pennsylvania, the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Bureau of Forestry administers the program and provides technical assistance. Our state program is overseen by a Forest Stewardship steering committee composed of private landowners, professional resource managers, and representatives from conservancies, higher education, industry, and government. Forestland Management Office The Penn State Forestland Management Office oversees more than 8000 acres of land, including the Stone Valley Forest. These areas provide opportunities for exemplary natural resource management, education, and demonstration consistent with the mission of the School of Forest Resources. Maurice K.
