Owsley County Extension Office Offers Agriculture, Family, and Community Programs

The Owsley County Extension Office on Industrial Park Road in Booneville operates under the University of Kentucky's Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment, offering residents programming across four areas: Agriculture and Natural Resources, Family and Consumer Sciences, Community and Economic Development, and 4-H Youth Development.

The office currently lists 13 in-person events through its University of Kentucky events page, with the Walking Club leading the lineup. Billed as a "12 Week Walking program you won't want to miss," the club appears multiple times among the current listings, suggesting recurring sessions or multiple registration opportunities throughout the program's run.

A Book Club is also on the calendar through the same office. Registration for that program requires a phone call in advance; the office specifically instructs interested participants to "please call to register for your copy." No deadline is listed, but calling ahead is required to secure a spot and materials.

The Hiking for Health Information Meeting rounds out the office's health-focused offerings. The listing describes it as providing "information that will ensure a safe and enjoyable experience while hiking," positioning it as a practical primer for anyone looking to take advantage of the outdoor terrain in and around Owsley County before heading out on the trail.

The County Extension Council Meeting is also listed among the 13 events, with the office extending a direct community invitation: "We hope you can attend."

Specific dates and times for all events were not included in the current online listings.
