University of Maine Cooperative Extension and the Waldo County Extension Association plan to offer four online weekly workshops with a rural living theme starting from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday, April 2.
Additional dates are April 9, 16 and 23.
“Rural Living Month” workshop topics include homestead livestock choices, working with children and teens in the garden, Maine’s invasive forest insects, and home cheesemaking.
This series is organized by WCEA in lieu of its annual Rural Living Day event, postponed the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a news release from the UMaine Extension.
All proceeds go to the WCEA scholarship fund.
The fee is $10 per workshop; registration is required. To register, visit extension.umaine.edu. Financial assistance is available.

Comments are not available on this story. Read more about why we allow commenting on some stories and not on others.
We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
