Mellon & Co. is pleased to announce completion and launch of Cornell University Cooperative Extension’s new Web site. The site launched in early June, and may be viewed at http://counties.cce.cornell.edu/allegany_cattaraugus.

The team at Mellon worked closely with key individuals from Cornell to build an online platform that offers improved access to diverse information about the organization and how it serves its communities.

Highlights of the site are informational resources including Cattaraugus-Allegany 4-H, agriculture, environmental opportunities, consumer science, and healthy living and wellness in the Southern Tier.

There are also unique resources that residents of Cattaruaugs and Allegany can learn about on the Web site. These include gardening and and environmental destinations, such as Nannen Arboretum, a non-profit, volunteered based organization dedicated to providing home garden and natural resource education, test plots for research, and an opportunity for nature appreciation and leisure.

Another vital resource is the Southern Tier Wellness Partnership, which provides information, education, and services surrounding diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and cancer. The Partnership provides resources and support to change the environment and policies that have become barriers for its citizens to lead a healthy lifestyle.

These items, and many others, make Cornell University Cooperative Extension a unique and valuable resource to residents of Cattaraugus and Allegany counties. Working on the planning, design, and development of the web project was enjoyable and rewarding. For more information, visit the new Web site at counties.cce.cornell.edu/allegany_cattaraugus.
