Abstract
As the Northeastern landscape changes from agriculture dominated to forest dominated, Cooperative Extension needs to prepare itself for increased programming associated with natural resource management issues. An important first step is to document programming issues relevant to county needs and to assess topics not being considered. We documented programming priorities of county Extension educators with a mail survey and ranked topics based on their relevance to county needs and within the context of emerging natural resource issues. Water resource issues are well recognized and addressed, yet some forestry topics that significantly influence resource management and quality are not being considered.
