Earth Day is a time to reflect, take action, and invest in the health of our planet—and our communities. At UConn Extension, every day is Earth Day as we work side-by-side with Connecticut residents to address the environmental challenges we face and build more resilient, sustainable systems.

From teaching youth about pollinators and climate change, to supporting farmers with climate-smart agriculture practices, to helping communities grow their own food and care for natural resources—our programs are grounded in science, guided by compassion, and driven by our land-grant mission to serve.

🌱 Reaching All Communities with UConn Extension

This year, Earth Day falls during UConn Gives, our university’s annual giving event. It’s the perfect time to make a gift that supports both people and the planet.

We invite you to support Reaching All Communities with UConn Extension—an initiative that strengthens our ability to bring research-based education and resources to every corner of Connecticut. Your gift helps us:

• Expand climate resilience and environmental literacy programs

• Create equitable access to Extension services in urban and underserved communities

• Engage new audiences through culturally relevant programs

• Train the next generation of environmental stewards
