*Ross County — Extension in Action*

Throughout Ohio, Extension professionals partner with thousands of community organizations to strengthen lives and livelihoods. And the team in Ross County is no exception.

Last year, our Extension staff in Ross County teamed up with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Forestry, to host a multi‑county, multi‑agency forestry education workshop for private landowners.

Participants learned hands‑on practices including controlled burns for grasslands and forests, native grassland establishment, property boundary marking, crop tree release, and more during this outreach event.

☀️ Sun rays can help increase Vitamin D levels, but too much UV exposure comes with real risks.

UV rays can damage your skin, strain your eyes, trigger allergic reactions, weaken your immune system, and speed up visible aging.

Protect your skin. Protect your vision. Protect your health. Learn more about the health concerns of UV exposure at the link in the comments ⤵️

*Clermont County — Extension in Action*

In Clermont County, nearly 800 youth were enrolled in 4-H last year.

This informal education program instills youth with the skills they need to lead for a lifetime and is available in all of Ohio's 88 counties.

4-H inspires curiosity, builds lifelong skills, fuels adventure, and grows leaders through fun, hands-on activities, that include clubs, projects (including evaluation days), community service, and camps.
