University of Wyoming Extension offers programs across the state in agriculture, horticulture, nutrition, natural resources, community vitality and health, and 4-H/youth, among many others. The state office is on the University of Wyoming campus, and there are also local offices in each of Wyoming’s 23 counties and the Wind River Reservation (see earlier sections for individual office listings). It helps to oversee statewide local foods coordination and the statewide Master Gardener Program (see listings below).

UW Extension also has (1) an ‘Ask an Expert’ website, which allows residents across the state to ask questions relating to topics such as gardening, food, agriculture, family, health, and programs for young people; and (2) a ‘Publications’ database website that contains Extension bulletins on a wide variety of topics, including plants, foods, horticulture, gardening, season-extension structures such as high tunnels and geodesic domes, business planning, finances, and many others (see Resources section for details about UW Extension Ask an Expert, Master Gardener program guidelines, and the publication database).
