What is Cooperative Extension?
CCE Mission: The Cornell Cooperative Extension educational system enables people to improve their lives and communities through partnerships that put experience and research knowledge to work.

What is a Program Work Team (PWT)?
• A team of campus- and county-based educators and researchers, as well as external stakeholders focusing on an issue of joint concern
• History of collaboration and cooperation within our department and with other departments

• engage stakeholders and determine educational needs
• conduct, interpret, and apply research
• develop external funding and program proposals
• design and implement educational programs
• evaluate impacts of program

Research Examples• French Creek - assessing correlation between land
use and stream biodiversity (M. Bain)• GAP - application of GAP to facilitate planning
for biodiversity conservation (C. Smith)• Area-sensitive birds - grassland and forest (T.
Gavin)• Invasive plants - biological control (B. Blossey)
