University of Illinois Extension invites all current Master Gardener and Master Naturalist volunteers from Bureau, LaSalle, Marshall, and Putnam Counties to a Cultivating Connections meeting on November 18, 2021 from 6:00-7:30 p.m. at the University of Illinois Extension Education Center & Community Teaching Kitchen located at 944 First Street in LaSalle. All Master Gardener and Master Naturalist volunteers and Extension’s 4-H staff team will meet together to connect with the 4-H coordinators in each county, discuss current programming and new plans, learn about local partnership opportunities, share ideas, and plan and schedule events for 2022. This meeting will be the catalyst to making our communities more aware of educational programs, engaging youth and adults in natural resources and our environment, and completing community service projects to beautify our area this year, with your help and expertise.
