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

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.
