GRANT HIGHLIGHT: Horticulture Program Coordinator, scott evans

EDUCATION FOCUS:

​My background is in botany and agriculture and my
focus is with volunteer management of the
Extension Master Gardener program. I enjoy helping
​people solve their plant-based problems.


GRANT PROJECT:

Dr. Jody Green pulled together a prototype of an insect vegetable pest book that was to be used in another Extension program that didn’t launch.  When Dr. Green was showing me her work one day I knew her work would benefit the public if we were able to get it in an easy to use format.  We are lucky to have many talented volunteers and one such volunteer has a background in printing and publishing.  So I took the initiative to work with a printer to get a rough estimate on printing charges and wrote a grant to help cover printing cost.
​

WHERE CAN WE GET MORE INFORMATION?

People who are interested in picking up a copy for themselves can swing by the office and pick one up.  The cost is $15.00 plus tax.  We have limited inventory so it would be best to give us a call first before heading to the office.

TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR CLUB:



​Springfield Blue Jeans and Boots 4-H Club is located in Southwest Sarpy County, just outside of Omaha. We have over 30 members in our club ranging from 5 years old to 18 years old. We enjoy doing all kinds of 4-H projects including woodworking, sewing, gardening, painting, STEM, livestock, shooting sports and, you guessed it, cooking!

We enjoy supporting our community and neighbors. You can find us cleaning up the highway, donating toys and blankets to animal shelters, saving our pop tabs and providing meals for the Ronald McDonald House of Omaha, drawing pictures, singing at nursing homes, and much more!

WHAT IS YOUR GRANT PROJECT?





​We received a shooting sports grant to get some archery equipment so more kids in our club can try and join in shooting archery!  We were able to get 3 bows and arrows with our grant.
