Day of the Badger is back, the annual party to pay it forward by celebrating and supporting the UW. #DayoftheBadger Children everywhere cherish storytime. That is why Extension works with jails and libraries to bring storytime to children with a parent who is incarcerated. Parents read books aloud to their children over a video call. This means strong family bonds and a smoother transition when the parent is released. Donate today to support strong families. 🔗 https://dayofthebadger.org/campaign/literacy-link/ (fb)

Day of the Badger is back, the annual party to pay it forward by celebrating and supporting the UW. #DayoftheBadger Cranberries and blueberries are great examples of crops that originated in wild plants native to our region, but why stop there? Extension is working to develop the American hazelnut, which we believe can become a staple of residents’ diet — not only are these nuts delicious, but the oil has the same heart-healthy benefits of olive oil. Your donation will go a long way in making hazelnuts a valuable crop in the Upper Midwest. 🔗 https://dayofthebadger.org/campaign/hazelnut-development-fund/ (fb)
