Virginia Cooperative Extension; Natural Resources, Forestry, and Environment Initiative Impact Assessment
Virginia Cooperative Extension (VCE) plays a vital role in delivering research-based education and Extension programs that enhance the well-being of individuals, communities, and natural systems across the Commonwealth of Virginia and beyond. To better understand how these Extension programs impact local economies, representatives from the VCE natural resource management program team partnered with the Virginia Tech Center for Economic and Community Engagement (VT CECE) for an economic valuation assessment of programming.
