The Bureau County Extension Office is a part of the University of Illinois Extension – Bureau, LaSalle, Marshall, Putnam Unit.
A volunteer Multi-County Unit Council meets on a regular basis to oversee all program and fiscal operations. Local programs are determined by the volunteer Unit Advisory Council. University of Illinois Extension provides equal opportunities in programs and employment. The program would not be possible without the financial support of our annual and individual donors. All local and county support is needed and greatly appreciated. All donations are directed to local programs and services.
