UW ACRES Farm Hosts Geodome Build

Posted on | by Layne Johnson, Albany County Extension Agent Intern

The Albany County Extension office will be adding a geodome greenhouse to the University of Wyoming Agricultural Community Resources for Everyday Sustainability (ACRES) gardening area. The build will take place over four days, from Saturday, July 20, to Saturday, July 27. Participants are not required to attend all sessions, but it is strongly encouraged. The schedule is as follows:

Several people drag a large white sheet towards a geodesic dome structure in a park area.
A geodesic dome build in Sundance, Wyoming, led by UW Extension educator Jeff Edwards.
  • Saturday, July 20: 1 p.m. – 5 p.m.
  • Sunday, July 21: 7 a.m. – 5 p.m.
  • Friday, July 26: 7 a.m. – 5 p.m.
  • Saturday, July 27: 7 a.m. – 12 p.m.

Lunch will be provided on Sunday and Friday. The build will provide an opportunity to learn new skills and gather ideas to build your own geodome.

UW Extension employees Ruth Lake and Jeff Edwards will be leading the project. This will further education in the community and will give 4-H members more opportunities to garden year-round at the ACRES gardening area.

Edwards and Lake are still looking for volunteers to help with the build. To sign up for this opportunity you must be 16 years of age or older.

Please contact the Albany County Extension Office at (307) 721-2571 to sign up or for more information.
