People in Your Community—Knowledge at Your Doorstep
The WVU Extension Service, with its local county office based in Weston, is here to help the citizens of Lewis County. The Extension Service provides information and educational resources for farmers, gardeners, youth development (through 4-H), family health, and workforce development. If you have a question and cannot find an answer here, please don’t forget that you can e-mail or call our office.
To meet and support the needs of local people and communities, county faculty and staff involve local residents in developing and leading specific programs and activities.
Part of the National Cooperative Extension System
With more than 3,000 county offices in the USA, the National Cooperative Extension System is the local front door for many citizens to their state land-grant institutions.
All universities engage in research and teaching, but the nation’s more than 100 land-grant colleges and universities including WVU have another critical mission: Extension. Extension means reaching out, and along with teaching and research land-grant institutions extend their resources, solving public needs with college or university resources through local programs.
