UF/IFAS Extension Initiatives

Natural resources must be conserved and enhanced to develop and support a strong local economy. For communities to flourish, Florida must actively manage finite natural resources and develop strategies to minimize environmental impacts.

UF/IFAS Extension Initiative 3: Natural Resources and Environmental Quality

All the parts of the Earth that are not human-made and which people use, like fish, trees, minerals, lakes, or rivers. [NALT]
