Welcome! The University of Idaho Cooperative
Extension System is an educational resource partnership between
the USDA, University of Idaho and other land grant universities
with Butte County that provides communities with research-based
information to help folks address issues of local concern.
Here in Butte County we promote life-long learning,
self-sufficiency, and a livable environment to individuals,
families, and communities
Cooperative extension programs in Butte County offer
informal out-of-school educational opportunities in Crop and
Livestock Production, Home Horticulture, Pest Management, Farm
Business Management and Community Development. Educational
opportunities come through workshops and seminars, newsletters,
tours and applied research trials and demonstrations
4-H is the non-formal youth education program of the
Cooperative Extension System. The mission of 4-H is to help
young people become self-directing, productive and contributing
members of society. At the heart of the program are hands-on
educational experiences through project work. These experiences
- plus participation in group meetings, special activities,
camps, contests, trips and tours - provide opportunities for
youth that contribute to their personal growth and development.
Extension educational
programming is “ground-up”, and is developed based on local
needs and priorities as expressed by our residents.
The University of
Idaho, Butte County Extension Office is seeking input from
county residents and other extension clientele regarding their
programming needs and preferences.
The office is
sending a mail survey to individuals on our county mailing list,
which should arrive in your mail on Monday, February 13th.
Please look for it
and complete and return it as quickly as possible, either in the
mail or by dropping it by our office in Business Incubation
Center.
