Cooperative Extension to keep doors open in Anchorage, Sitka

Leadership for Cooperative Extension Service at the University of Alaska Fairbanks announced Aug. 31 a plan to keep two offices open that it planned to close this fall due to state budget cuts –- one in Anchorage and the other in Sitka.
The Sitka office now will be funded largely through grants, some with 4-H and the National Park Service.
The program assistant Jasmine Shaw, based at the University of Alaska Southeast, will continue her work offering programs to the community.
