| Abstract/Contents: | "Prior to the development of programing and outreach materials it is important for Extension outreach and education professionals to assess the educational needs and preference of the communities they serve. Survey data was gathered from 198 residents of Cedar City, UT, in an effort to gain an understanding of the resources homeowners utilize when making lawn management decisions. Emphasis was placed on the awareness and uses of educational resources and services available through Cooperative Extension, such as Utah State University's soil testing laboratory, publications, website, county office staff, and other community outreach efforts. Results found that homeowners accessed multiple sources, with preferences leaning towards the use of friends and family members, the internet, and the point of purchase. Few homeowners, with the exception of Extension Master Gardeners, are aware of and utilize educational resources and services provided by Extension. This is especially true for those under the age of 50, which poses a challenge to Extension professionals to find effective ways to reach younger generations. Once exposed to Extension's resources, through community classes and programming, homeowners tended to have a high opinion of the service and preferred it as an educational resource over other options." |
