SKC Extension
Salish Kootenai College integrates extension, education, and research to advance land grant initiatives for our Tribal community. A focus on ecological restoration processes has led to developing a native plant nursery production and teaching facility, sharing native plant growing techniques with the Tribal greenhouse staff, and implementation of native plantings for restoration purposes. The extension office is mapping noxious weeds, providing education, and coordinating community level planning and weed control efforts. Extension is facilitating the Tribal Colleges with a special Water quality project to increase involvement with the USDA water quality program. The office is expanding the scope of extension by implementing delivery of curriculum in diet, health, and fitness aimed at preventing and reversing diet related illness.
