Resource Education

Some agencies, such as the National Park Service and the Bureau of Land Management, have an educational mission that includes both the natural and cultural resources. They use the term "resource education" to cover education related to history, culture, battles, prehistory, water, soil, plants, animals, and all the interactions between them. Indeed, much of our cultural history was shaped by the local environment, like strategic defense posts at mountain passes, water-powered industries at waterfalls, and transportation corridors along rivers.
