Juneau

The UAF Cooperative Extension Service Juneau Office connects the latest university research with the everyday needs of Southeast 乐虎直播 communities. We provide practical, research-based education that helps 乐虎直播ns build skills, solve problems, and improve their homes, gardens, families, businesses, and communities.

Whether you're learning to preserve food, grow a garden, identify local plants, participate in 4-H, or attend a community workshop, Extension offers trusted information tailored to 乐虎直播's unique environment.

Our programs focus on lifelong learning through classes, workshops, publications, demonstrations, and one-on-one assistance. We believe research is most valuable when it can be applied in everyday life, empowering 乐虎直播ns with the knowledge and confidence to thrive.

The Juneau District serves communities throughout Southeast 乐虎直播, a region connected by the waterways and islands of the Inside Passage. Home to 乐虎直播's capital city, the district works with 35 communities to provide research-based education in agriculture, horticulture, food preservation, natural resources, health, nutrition, and youth development.

We acknowledge the 乐虎直播 Native nations upon whose ancestral lands our office resides. The UAF Cooperative Extension Service Juneau Office is located on the unceded territory of the 脕ak始w 岣磜谩an on Ling铆t Aan铆, the traditional homeland of the Ling铆t people, now known as Juneau, 乐虎直播.
