Bullitt County residents need resources for renewal, relaxation, health care and environmental stewardship. This program brought many partners, community organizations and businesses together on Earth Day to provide one place for county residents to access services and get to know the resources in their community. Our county Extension partnered with Circle of Harmony and Health, BlueOval SK, WestRock, Mayor's Office of Sustainability, Insuramax, Columbia Employee Store in Shepherdsville, Earthjustice, Grand Canopy Tree Service, Ellen Trahan - Financial Advisor with Northwestern Mutual, Louisville Salt Cave, Collective Wellness & Spa, Equid Branches Wellness Services, Elliott Brothers Farm and many others to provide information, hands on demonstrations, and consultation of services to the members of the community. The theme of this event was "restore" and centered around mental, emotional, social and educational health and well being, and environmental stewardship.
Over 2500 people attended the event in person at Bernheim Forest, but the total reach was far beyond attending the event itself. There were a total of 539, 11 Facebook/Instagram Impressions about he event and the 2024 Restore event page was viewed 8,867 times in the six weeks leading up to the event. The Extension booth directly interacted with over 350 people and got 37 additional newsletter sign ups.
