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.
