Washoe County Extension Office

Building Code: Washoe County Extension Office

Alongside research and teaching, cooperative extension—often referred to as extension—is the third mission of the more than 100 land-grant universities and colleges in the US. These publicly funded land-grant educational institutions offer practical, research-based information about soil, gardening, crops, pests, landscaping, and more to farmers, small business owners, consumers, families, and young people.

Washoe County Extension office is run by university staff, and their programs engage numerous volunteers who are trained as part of the program and then give back to the community in the form of volunteer hours. Two well-known Extension programs are the Master Gardener Program, Living With Fire and 4-H, America’s largest youth development organization for farming and animal husbandry.

The Washoe County off is located at 4955 Energy Way, Reno, NV. and can be reached at 775-784-4848
