Owen County Extension Agent for 4-H Youth Development
Young people interested in the environment, science, or the outdoors may want to apply to be a scholar in the 4-H Natural Resource and Environmental Sciences Academy.
The three-year program is designed to teach 4-H’ers beginning middle school about the environment around them. The academy, which began as a pilot project in Eastern Kentucky, is now offered statewide.
