UF IFAS Extension Pasco County Pasco County Government is Bringing Opportunities Home with the expertise of UF/IFAS Extension. We are here for every single citizen and we can help.

Since 1914, the IFAS/UF Pasco County Extension Office has committed to improving the lives of our citizens one person at a time. Lately, however, these services that should empower and educate our citizens, have become underused and underestimated. Times have changed drastically, and along with it, the Extension offices have changed as well. The office still provides traditional services like plant, pest and disease identification services, crop and pasture management, 4-H activities that promote citizenship, and consumer and family sciences programs for children and the elderly. However, those programs have expanded and adapted to the community’s current needs, reaching an ever changing demographic. For example, the IFAS/UF Pasco County Extension Office is reaching out into minority communities with 4-H programs to build strong, healthy children with a sense of pride in their communities and to help develop community gardens to feed those less fortunate and promote healthy, natural nutritional values. Our Florida-Friendly LandscapingTM program has helped homeowners save hundreds of thousands of dollars and helped to secure cleaner and better preserved water resources in our area. We offer ServeSafe programs to keep families healthier and safer at home, work and at school. We help workers and families build meaningful and lasting relationships and even offer advice for aging family members. In addition, our expertise in livestock management and crop production has helped to sustain the highly profitable beef and citrus production, which together, contribute millions of dollars to the local economy annually. Pasco County Government is Bringing Opportunities Home with the expertise of IFAS/UF Extension. Please visit the Extension office or our website and learn more about us. We have Solutions for Your Life.

Wow our volunteers and partners are amazing!!! Yesterday, with the help of 47 volunteers, we built 476 Vertical Oyster Gardens in just under 2 hours!

These VOGs will be installed from the docks of residents and businesses in Pasco and Pinellas counties to help restore oyster reefs and clean our local waterways!

We also have to give a shout-out to our amazing partners! The Seaworthy Collective has donated for us to buy the supplies to keep the VOG program running smoothly. As always, we appreciate the Energy & Marine Center for helping us lead this workshop focused on community oyster restoration and education! The Coastal Conservation Association also deserves a big thanks for donating the oyster shell and supporting our workshop!

If you missed this workshop, we have another coming up on November 16th! Sign up now as spots are limited: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/vertical-oyster-garden-building-workshop-tickets-2000648912754
