Gary Bergman, Unit Leader NU Cooperative Extension in Lancaster County contributes to the University of Nebraska’s land-grant mission by extending reliable research-based information to the public for use in everyday life.

Considering today’s fast-paced society, extension engages residents in Lancaster County and beyond, 24-hours a day, by utilizing multiple delivery methods:

Programs and workshops

In addition to direct outreach, extension trains individuals who, in turn, impact or teach others. This includes business professionals, service industry workers, health professionals, teachers, childcare providers, government employees, master gardeners and volunteers.

Lancaster County extension collaborates with more than 125 agencies, organizations, businesses and school systems to develop and deliver educational programs. We value our community partnerships as a way to leverage our resources and reach even more people. To our partners, we say thank you.

And finally, a salute to the hundreds of volunteers who are essential to extension’s success. Your dedication to programs such as the 4-H youth development program, master gardeners, Nutrition Education Program (NEP) and earth wellness festival greatly add to our community and quality of life. We appreciate your important contributions.
