About Us
In conjunction with the "Action Agenda
for Ohio Watersheds" state budget initiative, Ohio State University
Extension expanded its Community-based Watershed Management Program
in mid-2000 by appointing five Extension Agents in Watershed Management.
These agents serve as educational resources
for local watershed partnerships and have been assigned regions
of Ohio as defined by the Ohio EPA hydrologic units. (View
agent contact information and coverage areas.)
Audiences for the new OSU Watershed Agents include
watershed groups and their communities; OSU Extension Agents; elected
officials; teachers and students; collaborating agencies and other
organizations. (View photos of the agents
at work in the photo gallery.)
