Nebraska Extension is Relentlessly Relevant

2025 Buffalo County Impact-At-A-Glance

The homeschool environmental education program engages both enrolled and non-enrolled youth in 4-H.  At its inception, the first workshop at the Buffalo County Extension Office had three participants and has since grown to between 40-50 youth attendees at the monthly programs. Each lesson includes STEM-based instruction, hands-on activities, and teamwork. Topics included the web of life, animal tracks, pollinators, weather, orienteering and geocaching, flight and aviation, and horticulture. Interest in the homeschool programs has grown to include youth from outside of Buffalo County. Nebraska Extension is making a difference across the state.
