The office for this position is located in the San Miguel CSU Extension office in Norwood, Colorado. The San Miguel Basin is surrounded by mountains with elevations ranging from 5,000 ft. to 14,246 ft. Historically the economy has been based on agriculture, tourism, and mining. Agriculture is primarily beef production on ranches growing grain and hay and using public land for grazing. However, an influx of new residents has prompted growth in hobby farms and markets and home gardening. There is also a dynamic recreational economy that is centered on the Telluride Ski Area as well as west end trails. This interface between agriculture/mining and recreation has caused complex land use and environmental issues. To learn more about Colorado State University Extension, go to
