BJP Continues to impress (like every year) with wildlife!

Have a nature lover? Consider Betsy Jeff Penn for a camp experience next year! Where your kids (like these guys!) can get to see all sorts of wildlife! Birds, deer, lizards, bugs, and even beavers and otters! And you know, catch a s'more or two 😉

Earlier this month, Jackson County 4-H and Cooperative Extension were lucky enough to receive an AMAZING donation from Walmart Sylva and St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church of Sylva, NC . This donation was a literal truckload of gardening and seed starting kits that total over $1,200 in items we can now use to continue facilitating low and no cost programming to encourage people of all ages in Jackson County to head outdoors, to learn about food production, to participate in therapeutic horticulture, summer programming, and more!

The items we received will impact over 70 known youth in our county this summer alone, over 20 senior adults, and everyone in between. For programming this summer and beyond, everyone here at the Jackson County Cooperative Extension Office thanks you!! Our programming is able to impact so many more community members with donations just like these.

If you're participating this summer in one of our gardening programs or workshops, be on the lookout for the Walmart and St Mary's shoutout to see just how far these donations go! Thank you!

P.S. Peep Rayanne and Ubaldo Herrera, St. Mary staff who made sure we knew about this amazing opportunity and diligently helped Rebekah Davis (4-H) and Minda Daughtry (Horticulture) load up all the fantastic resources!

🍀 Paper Clover is back! 🍀
That's right, every year, Tractor Supply partners with 4-H so we can help kids get to where they want to go!
Checking out? Hear the "Would you like to donate to 4-H?" that's us! Proceeds from those donations go right into 4-H travel funds, letting us get kids to summer camp, to state and national leadership activities, and beyond.
When you head to Tractor Supply between April 17th and May 3rd, consider rounding up for 4-H, so we can make sure we get kids where they can thrive!

Thank you!
