Company Overview
Created in 1911, the Oregon State University Extension Service provides the public with easy-to

It translates and adapts the research for practical, local uses by farmers, ranchers, foresters, families, gardeners, youths, seniors and coastal residents. OSU Extension has faculty in each of Oregon's 36 counties and oversees 18,000 Extension-trained volunteers who spend more than 2 million hours helping about 2 million Oregonians each year. Together, these volunteers represent the equivalent of 1,000 full-time employees. OSU Extension oversees the statewide 4-H program, which engages more than 100,000 school children in activities focused on areas like healthy living, civic engagement and science. OSU Extension also trains the state's Master Gardeners, who are present in 29 counties and answer gardening questions at OSU Extension offices, farmers markets and workshops and also take care of educational gardens for communities. Oregon State University Extension Service offers educational programs, activities, and materials without discrimination based on age, color, disability, gender identity or expression, marital status, national origin, race, religion, s*x, s*xual orientation, or veteran’s status.
