Drawing on material support from the National Science Foundation, the American Association of Community Colleges, and Chemeketa Community College this site provides access to a number of instructional items for those who are teaching classes about the world of sustainable resources. As one might guess, the "Instructional and Educational Materials" is a fine place to start. This area has complete course materials for such subject as environmental ethics, aquatic field and lab methods, environmental science, and principles of wildlife conservation. There are also a number of instructional modules, such as those that teach students how to evaluate media coverage of an environmental issue and the impact of land use on water quality. The site is rounded out by a listing of community colleges that offer programs in various natural resource disciplines.
