Extension at the University of Minnesota

For the past 25 years, MARL has helped more than 380 rural Minnesotans. Leaders and alumni share how the program helps people grow leadership skills and connect with others.

Extension developed a list of native trees expected to thrive 50 -100 years from now; volunteers journal observations to offer clues for how species might fare north of current growing zones.

University of Minnesota Extension health and wellness coordinators teach practical ways to “make the healthy choice the easy choice,” for low-income youth, families and seniors.

Minnesota 4-H State Ambassadors highlight ways for youth to stay involved this summer, including the statewide service project, YELLO leadership conference, Engineering Design Challenge and fair season.
