Why do we have seasons? Is it because of how close the sun is?  How many hours of daylight we get or is it something else? The way we experience seasons within our region can vary from those that live in other parts of the United States. Join visiting Extension Educator Duane Friend as he explains why we have seasons, what causes the changes in daylight length, and where we see the sun in the sky.

Duane Friend is an Environmental and Energy Stewardship Educator with University of Illinois Extension. He provides information and educational programs to adult and youth audiences in the areas of soil quality, weather and climate, energy conservation, and disaster preparedness. 

Many Illinois Extension and 4-H activities have transitioned to in-person programming based on local conditions in conjunction with current IDPH guidelines. Events are held in reduced capacity settings following all local and state safety protocols.  The program is free but registration is required, and seating is limited. Please register by May 31 to reserve your spot!

University of Illinois Extension provides equal opportunities in programs and employment. If you need a reasonable accommodation to participate in programming, please contact Maggie Ray at mro@illinois.edu. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to meet your access needs.
