Are you interested in leading an Extension sustainability-focused program, but not sure what topics are already being covered? Do you want to learn who else is programming in this area so that you can glean experience from or collaborate with them? Perhaps you already are leading a program but may be feeling alone in your efforts. With the help of a new national database of sustainability-focused Extension programs, connecting or getting inspired is made easy! The database includes over 170 entries with 41 states represented. This webinar will walk participants through how to access and use the database, and dive in depth into some great examples of sustainability-focused Extension programs across the US.
