How We Can Help

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

Wasatch County Extension Family & Consumer Sciences (FCS) provide education in areas that are important to the quality of life for children and adults, individuals and families including:

Family

Food

Home and Community

4-H Events

Youth must be registered as a 4-H member to sign up for any 4-H class. 4-H registration can be done at 4h.zsuite.org. The cost is $10/year (September 1 through August 31) and can be paid with a credit card on that site. Youth and volunteers must register every year.

After registering to become a 4-H member on zsuite, then youth can register for specific camps and classes on Eventbrite. Please use the child's name when registering, not the parent/guardian name.

Gardening Resources

Wasatch and Summit Counties Horticulture Needs Survey

Do you have specific horticulture related questions? Needs? Taking this survey will better help us understand the needs and interests of those in our community related to horticulture and gardening. It will help us better develop programs and services specific to your needs. Be sure to take the survey and let us know how we can better serve you!

Wasatch Back Fruit Tree Project

Do you live along the Wasatch Back and have fruit trees? USU Extension in Wasatch and Summit counties needs your help! We're attempting to consolidate information from backyard fruit growers like you to provide the best information about which fruit trees (only apple and peach right now) grow best in our unique area. We're looking to collect bloom and harvest timing data. Sign up to participate and you'll get an email this spring to collect data on your fruit trees.

Soil Testing

Your soil is the nutrient bank for your plants. One of the best things you can do as a gardener to better help your plants while being environmentally conscious and responsible is to know what nutrient levels are present in your soil. Consider submitting a soil test to better understand what you should and shouldn't be adding to your soil!

Monthly Garden Tips

USU Extension's Gardener's Almanac provides month-by-month tips and tasks to make sure you are on top of all things gardening! Each month also has links to dozens of timely, relevant, useful resources to help you in all your horticulture endeavors.

Master Gardener

The Wasatch county 2024 Master Gardener program registration closed. Please contact Wesley Crump (wesley.crump@usu.edu) to be reminded for the 2025 course.

Maple Tapping

Did you know you can tap several commonly grown and native maple trees in Utah? Researchers at USU are exploring maple tapping in Utah using Boxelder, Bigtooth, Norway, and other maples. If you are interested in learning more about the process, or even tapping trees on your property, fill out this survey! You'll receive additional information on the process, and you'll be notified of our maple tapping workshop this fall (2023).
