NRLA puts a unique twist on the standard college based learning environment, allowing both the graduate student (credit) and working professional (non-credit) the opportunity to learn side-by-side, sharing and networking on natural resources topics with individuals from around the globe, while integrating leadership and emphasizing collaboration across all disciplines and throughout.

Registration is now open for the 2016 Natural Resources Leadership Academy, which will be held Jun 12 – 24 in Corvallis on the Oregon State University campus in Kearney Hall. This is a unique opportunity to enhance your leadership skills, while gaining knowledge and connecting with others in the natural resources field.

    • Natural Resources and Community Values
    • Collaborative Governance
    • Water Conflict Management
  • A combined overnight field trip to Central Oregon that integrates and emphasizes the learning objectives from the weeks’ tracks.
