On a regular basis, the Extension Foundation hosts virtual chats on Connect Extension, available to all Cooperative Extension professionals. The purpose of these short virtual chats is to highlight best practices and innovation throughout Cooperative Extension and initiative conversations about important issues. Each session will be a different topic area.
On February 17th, 2022, we will be discussing opportunities and challenges related to watershed education and outreach and discuss how Extension can support our audiences with resources and programming that can help build local capacity. We invite Cooperative Extension professionals to join us to discuss their experiences, share ideas, and highlight resources that have helped them and their stakeholders develop successful watershed science and engagement programs.
This conversation will be hosted by Anne Sawyer and Anne Nelson, Extension Educators from the University of Minnesota Extension.
To participate, Cooperative Extension professionals will need to have a Connect Extension account. To register your free Connect Extension account, click here.
