This is the home of Texas A&M Agrilife Extension office in Castro County. Texas AgriLife Extension Service educates Texans in the areas of agriculture, environmental stewardship, youth and adult life skills, human capital and leadership, and community & economic development. The County Office offers the knowledge resources of the Texas A&M University System to local citizens for self-improvement, individual action and community problem-solving.
Texas A&M AgriLife is also the home agency for Texas 4-H. Texas 4-H is a club for kids and teens ages 8-18 in grades 3-12. As the largest youth development program in Texas, reaching more than 550,000 youth each year, no matter where you live or what you like to do, Texas 4-H has something that lets you be a better you! In 4-H, the activities are organized by 5 major topic areas and called ‘projects.’ All 4-H members must be enrolled in at least one project. The 5 project areas are Agriculture & Livestock, Family & Community Health, Leadership & Citizenship, Natural Resources, and STEM.
This geocache is placed as a training cache for Castro 4-H members that are learning with in the STEM project. This cache is a way to learn about geocaching and to find one close by when we host a training.
It is an easy park and grab for all. But it is an office so there may be muggles at play during the work day.
