41. Tourism: The Economic Impact Of Visitors To Your Community Issued in furtherance of Cooperative Extension work acts of May 8 and June 30, This material is based upon work supported by the Extension service, http://www.uaf.edu/coop-ext/publications/freepubs/WREP-144.html

The Economic Impact of Visitors to your Community WREP-00144 Prepared December 1994 by George Goldman University of California, Berkeley Anthony Nakazawa University of Alaska David Taylor University of Wyoming Source: Adapted from California Economic Practices Manual (chapter 1). Impact studies that examine the economic effects within a community of development projects such as a new hotel are usually confined to a fiscal analysis of local government costs and revenues. But increasing emphasis on the total environment-social, biological, and business-calls for an appraisal of broader impacts within the community for a wholistic perspective. Economic impact studies need to provide information about the effects on jobs, income, or housing, as well as how a project will affect the community's overall environment. The effects a project has on various groups within a community (i.e. its distribution effects) are often more important than its economic efficiency. An economic impact assessment can become a useful tool for a community to use in working out what is most economically effective considering the goals for family income, distribution of benefits and costs, fiscal impacts, benefits over time, etc. The approach to setting up such a study will depend on the situation, the community, and the analyst's judgment. The study is not the final word on whether a particular choice should be made; it simply presents alternatives and their effects. The purpose of an economic study is to put some practical problems in proper perspective for a public decision-making process. Frequently, decisions must be made with less information than any community would desire.

Cooperative Extension Volunteer Water Quality Monitoring Programs When we first started this project we identified 27 volunteer water quality monitoring programs sponsored or co-sponsored by Cooperative Extension in the United States and its territories. Now we are up to 38! We are always looking for programs we have missed and have had help from people across the country to find 'new' programs. Our latest change to this page was to identify which programs are sponsored or co-sponsored by Cooperative Extension and which are affiliated in other ways such as by providing technical assistance with trainings, educational materials, equipment, or meeting space for volunteer monitoring events. The map above shows where and to what extent Cooperative Extension is involved in volunteer water quality monitoring across the nation. Not shown is an Extension co-sponsored program in American Samoa. The first of these programs began in 1978, the most recent this year. In parentheses next to each program's name is the year that the program began. Program volunteers are monitoring a wide range of aquatic habitats including rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, wetlands, estuaries, and drinking water wells.

This conference has concluded the information is provided here to assist you in planning for your attendance at future conferences. 3rd Natural Resource Extension Professionals Conference Revolutionizing or Evolutionizing Extension Programming? June 2-5, 2002 The Naples Beach Hotel and Golf Club Naples, Florida PDF Print Version of Conference Program and Abstracts S ITE I NDEX Introduction Pre-conference Activities Programmatic Themes Submission of Revised ... For Further Information Introduction Conference Theme The Cooperative Extension Service was established to provide a non-traditional approach of applying research knowledge to help resolve community issues. Extension has developed a strong tradition and an excellent reputation for serving the same clientele base extremely well. However, this tradition is now preventing Extension from effectively addressing many other issues that have emerged during the past century. The theme to be explored during this conference is whether another rapid (revolutionary) or a more gradual (evolutionary) rate of change should occur to make Extension more relevant in today’s communities and the role of natural resource extension programming in this revision. Who Should Attend Natural resource extension professionals and those who work with or would like to partner with these educators in environmental education, fisheries, wildlife, range, forestry, forest products, toxicology, ecotourism, water conservation and quality, sea grant, public policy, nature interpretation, watershed planning, ecological economics, rural development and other related disciplines. The primary audience consists of three groups: 1) Extension personnel at state 1862, 1890 and 1994 Land Grant Institutions (county faculty, county directors, district directors, specialists, department chairs, state program leaders and state directors); 2) National program leaders, and other staff with the USDA Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service; 3) Natural resource educators from other governmental agencies and private not-for-profit organizations.

HOMEPAGE (MY TOOLSHED) MY GARDEN THE OLD GARDENER Updated February 12, 2004 You are visitor A separate and distinct area of gardening is that of the Master Gardener - the voluntary arm of the Agricultural Extension Services. As a Past President and member of the Harris County Master Gardener Association (Houston, Texas), I am more familiar with the Texas Master Gardener program but Master Gardening is nationwide in scope and on this page I will be attempting to put it all together. I am often asked the question, "Who and what are 'Master Gardeners'"? The following comments, questions and answers are geared primarily to the Texas Master Gardener Program. However, with slight differences, they also apply to all 50 states since all now have "Master Gardener Programs". They also generally apply in the four Canadian provinces with the program except for the sponsorship of Cooperative Extension agencies. Master Gardeners are members of the local community who take an active interest in their lawns, trees, shrubs, flowers and gardens. They are enthusiastic, willing to learn and to help others, and able to communicate with diverse groups of people. What really sets Master Gardeners apart from other home gardeners is their special training in horticulture. In exchange for their training, persons who become Master Gardeners contribute time as volunteers, working through their cooperative Extension office to provide horticulture-related information to their communities.
