How We Can Help

USU Extension offers expertise and pertinent information specific to the needs of our county

4- H Is the nation’s largest youth organization with more than 6 million youth members.

4-H
Teaches youth leadership, citizenship, and life skills using a “learn by doing” approach and is an educational program that provides wholesome, fun activities with programs designed to engage youth in hands-on learning activities.

Programming is provided through the caring support of adult volunteers and mentors, who inspire youth to work collaboratively, take the lead on their own projects and set and achieve goals with confidence.

If you would like to volunteer to lead/assist a club or sign up a youth, please contact our office at 435-797-1483 or visit https://4h.zsuite.org to enroll. Visitors are welcome but if you want to ensure a meeting, please set up an appointment prior to coming to the office.

We have a large poultry incubator that is available for hatching of your own eggs. Please consult us first before you buy or gather eggs as this is an involved process that requires us to be available for 3 weeks each hatch and we want to ensure you the best hatch possible.

Raccoon, skunk, and squirrel traps are available. Moab City and County no longer help with nuisance wild animals, in an effort to help we have purchased dog proof raccoon traps, heavy duty live traps, and colony cage squirrel traps. In Utah, it is illegal to move, transport, or relocate wildlife, it is understood that if you borrow one of these traps that you are responsible for dispatch to ensure protection to our native and desirable species by not spreading diseases and invasive or non-native animals.

Gopher traps are available upon request.

Soil probes are available upon request, you will still be responsible for sending samples to the analytical lab.
