Worster is primarily interested in environmental history.
He also has strong interests in comparative history (especially of the U.S. and Canada), in American regionalism (particularly the West), in agriculture, and in science and technology.
He has defined farms and gardens as "domesticated ecologies," in other words places where human beings change their surroundings and are changed by them.
"Whatever terrain the environmental historian chooses to investigate, he has to address the age-old predicament of how humankind can feed itself without degrading the primal source of life. Today as ever, that problem is the fundamental challenge in human ecology, and meeting it will require knowing the earth well--knowing its history and knowing its limits."
