Extension Washburn County
How can we help?
Natural Resources
Educators provide support to members of local communities so that they can make informed decisions that protect our environment such as those impacting water quality, land conservation, sustainability, and more.
Agriculture
Established in 1909, University of Wisconsin-Madison’s first agricultural research station.
The Spooner Agricultural Research Station is the northernmost station and specializes in Agronomy and Horticulture crop production research.
