We gratefully acknowledge the contributions of our partners and funders. Through their support, ONREP is able to offer high-quality curricula, materials, and professional development to educators at no cost. Contact us with your ideas on ways to support ONREP.

Primary Partners and Funders


Oregon Forest Resources Institute has been instrumental in supporting ONREP since the mid-1990s as a funder and collaborating partner on K-12 programming. Their funding makes it possible for educators to attend workshops and receive curriculum free of charge, and for substitute reimbursement for educators attending an ONREP workshop. Their materials and resources for educators are included in ONREP workshops and are available at LEARNFORESTS.org.

 

 


 

The Forestry & Natural Resources Extension Program, located in the College of Forestry at Oregon State University, has been the institutional home of ONREP since the mid-1980s. ONREP works with OSU Extension Faculty located in communities across Oregon in providing programming for educators.
