Extension specialists are at work across New Hampshire offering practical education and resources to the agriculture and horticulture community as well as volunteers, residents and natural resources professionals interested in forestry, the forestry products industry and wildlife and land conservation. This practical, often hands-on education takes the form of one-on-one consultations as well as in-person and virtual events on a variety of topics.
Whether your interest is agriculture or horticulture: including greenhouse or high tunnel production, integrated pest management, fruit and vegetable production, livestock, ag business, forage crops or more, our events and workshops can open the door for further exploration, practical knowledge and the ability to make connections in NH’s agricultural community.
If your interest lies in natural resources, we offer many ways to engage including forestry, wildlife, land conservation and citizen science which can also offer the ability to further explore topic areas of interest and make connections in New Hampshire. Join us!
