ABOUT THE UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING EXTENSION
Are you curious about ways to attract wildlife to your backyard? New ways to stretch your grocery budget? What about putting up a wind generator on your small acreage? Are you looking for a youth program that puts character first? Community development, sustainable agriculture and natural resources, rangeland management, nutrition, food safety, and 4-H/youth development — the University of Wyoming Extension focuses on issues that matter most to you!
Since 1914, UW Extension has helped Wyoming citizens and communities respond to challenges and changes. We have offices in each of the state’s 23 counties and the Wind River Indian Reservation. Although our roots are in agriculture, UW Extension has broadened its educational mission to encompass many of the contemporary challenges facing Wyoming’s people and its rural communities. We’re committed to providing lifelong learning opportunities as we bring the resources of the University of Wyoming home to you!
STATE INITIATIVE TEAMS
UW Extension uses a team-based approach to educational program leadership. This model revolves around five State Initiative Teams, which assess the needs of Wyoming citizens and communities and then select and develop educational programs around those needs.
• Agriculture and Horticulture State Initiative Team (Ag and Hort)• 4-H and Youth Development State Initiative Team (4-H and Youth)• Nutrition and Food Safety State Initiative Team (NFS)• Sustainable Management of Rangeland Resources State Initiative Team (SMRR)• Community Development Education: State Initiative Team (CDE)
AGRABILITY
Wyoming AgrAbility is here to inform, educate, and assist ranchers, farmers, and farm workers with disabilities and their families so that they can continue doing what they love—ranching and farming.
RENEWABLE ENERGY
UW Extension, in partnership with the School of Energy Resources, welcomes you to Wyoming’s source for unbiased information about renewable energy and energy efficiency.
