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.
