National Resources Policy, Values and Economics


http://www.pdx.edu/cps/nrpve
Natural resource management requires knowledge of policy issues, economics, and human valuation, as much as it requires knowledge of specific natural resources. What are the complex policy factors involved in natural resource management? What is the basic role of economics in the management of natural resources? How are human value systems that underlie policy making and economics integrated into policy decisions? The Natural Resource Policy, Values and Economics Program is designed to answer these questions and enable the natural resource professional to synthesize the concepts learned for use in everyday professional practice.



The Natural Resource Policy, Values and Economics Seminar is a workshop that is part of the U.S. Forest Service Continuing Education Program. The course is offered at Portland State University and the University of Georgia for alternating years.

The Continuing Education Program strives to serve the people who care for the land and is designed to meet the training needs of entry-level and mid-career professionals.
The week-long program utilizes real-world case studies and interactive exercises to teach concepts to students.
