University of Illinois Extension

Welcome to Our Website!

University of Illinois Extension provides Knox County with a wide variety of research-based information and program opportunities. The Knox County staff along with center educators work with all ages of individuals in agencies, organizations, families, communities and businesses to help them learn the most recent findings in topics ranging from water quality to food safety to landscaping to leadership development. Along with community members and center educators, the county educators identify, analyze and prioritize the issues affecting local citizens. Extension's goal is to "help people put knowledge to work."

Does this sound like you?

I keep every bill, receipt, or financial statement because, I don't know what I can safely toss. I can never find anything after I put it away. My spare bedroom, closets, and basement are full of junk that I don't know how to tackle. I want less clutter, but I just can't figure out how to get started. If you said "yes" to any of these, then this site is for you!
