Our Origins

University of Maryland Extension is a statewide, informal educational system, sponsored jointly by the University of Maryland, College Park, the University of Maryland, Eastern Shore, Harford County Government and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. University Maryland Extension is administered through the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (AGNR) in College Park. We have access to many of the University of Maryland's resources as well as campuses within the system. Our mission is to educate citizens and help them to apply practical, research-based knowledge to critical issues facing individuals, families, communities, the State and the world. County Extension offices are located in each of Maryland's 23 counties and Baltimore City.

If you need special assistance to participate in any programs, please contact the Extension Office at (410) 638-3255 two weeks prior to the event date.
