Mission and Vision

1. To build the capacity of Oregonians to understand, value, and manage our complex watershed resources.
2. To promote interactive learning environments that challenge citizens to learn and to put their knowledge to use and encourage individual responsibility, partnerships, and connections to place.
3. To bring together diverse skills and resources for the purpose of designing and implementing innovative watershed management solutions.

The OSU Watershed Education Team (WE Team) will be widely recognized as the leader in providing up-to-date, comprehensive, credible, and accessible information to help citizens understand, value, and manage their watersheds. Watershed Extension is a vital part of OSU, and is integrated with research, teaching, and student projects. The WE Team contributes their unique skills and diversity of approaches to cooperate, communicate, and challenge and learn from each other, to develop creative watershed and resource management decisions.
