UW-EXTENSION SERVES BAYFIELD COUNTY

  • A three-way partnership of the University of Wisconsin, the United States Department of Agriculture, and Bayfield County.
  • Bringing knowledge and research to Bayfield County residents through programs in Agriculture & Natural Resources; Family Living; 4-H & Youth Development; and Community, Natural Resource & Economic Development.
  • Taught and facilitated by University of Wisconsin faculty and staff.
  • Over 1,000 informational bulletins and programs available free or for a minimal fee.

MISSION

With an office in each Wisconsin county, Cooperative Extension develops practical educational programs tailored to local needs and based on university knowledge and research.

County-based Extension educators are University of Wisconsin faculty and staff who are experts in agriculture and agribusiness, community and economic development, natural resources, family living and youth development.

Extension county-based faculty and staff live and work with the people they serve in communities across the state. Extension specialists work on UW System campuses where they access current research and knowledge. Collaboration between county and campus faculty is the hallmark of Cooperative Extension in Wisconsin.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY

The University of Wisconsin-Extension provides equal opportunities in employment and programming, including Title IX and ADA, and reasonable accommodations for disabilities or limitations to access its programs, activities, services and materials.
