County governments work together with Cooperative Extension to provide local educational programs that address the lifelong learning needs of individuals, families and communities. Wisconsin residents get quick, convenient access to university research and knowledge through Cooperative Extension offices in every county and through staff on University of Wisconsin campuses.
