Chatham, Michigan – March 14, 2021 – Erin Daines of MSUE, Marquette County Extension Office District 2 Director, joined Todd Pazz on the 8th Day Radio Show to discuss the upcoming U.P. Spring Seminar Series Starting on March 16th and the wide array of free services available through Michigan State University Extension offices to people of the Upper Peninsula. People bring in soil samples, critters, photos of bugs, and so on, so the MSUE experts can help the public identify them. Well beyond 4H, the MSUE has educational programs available on a very wide and diverse number of topics.
“Michigan State University Extension helps people improve their lives by bringing the vast knowledge resources of MSU directly to individuals, communities and businesses.”
