WE HELP YOU CONNECT
Our county outreach staff connects directly to the larger resources of UNH Cooperative Extension’s campus-based subject-matter specialists, to the University of New Hampshire faculty, and to the nation’s land grant university system. Our specialists and county outreach staff conduct field research and organize programs based on requests from stakeholder groups.

We further extend our reach by recruiting, training and supporting thousands of volunteers, who give time in their communities as 4-H leaders, master gardeners, community tree stewards, lake quality monitors, and wildlife stewards.
