This is your new direct portal to learn what is happening with Design and Environmental Analyisis outreach. We plan to keep this website up to date with important news that affects our Cooperative Extension programs and the county educators. This website will be a place to learn about upcoming programs and events. The sights and sounds of these events will be readily available through this new medium. Additionally, this website will allow for a new kind of discussion to take place.

We hope you can take advantage of the opportunities that this website will present over the coming months. We also would like your feedback about what is working and what needs improvement.

Thank you and welcome!
