Welcome to the Maryland Cooperative Extension, Garrett County Office!
Our Mission: Maryland Cooperative Extension (MCE) is a statewide, non-formal education system within the college of Agriculture and Natural Resources and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. MCE educational programs and problem-solving assistance are available to citizens and are based on the research and experience of land grant universities such as the University of Maryland, College Park.
Established by Congress in 1914, Cooperative Extension is an educational network, centered in the country's seventy-two land grant universities. MCE provides research-based practical education to the problems of American families, agriculture, business, and industry. In Maryland, MCE operates through the University of Maryland at College Park, and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. MCE has field offices in all twenty-three Maryland counties and Baltimore City. MCE is financially supported by federal, state, and local government.
Maryland Cooperative Extension is a partnership among the U. S. Department of Agriculture, land-grant universities and local governments in each state. MCE faculty and staff are professionals provide research-based information, educational programs and services and are committed to "educating people to help themselves" in the following program areas: Agriculture & Nature Resources, Nutrient Management, Family and Consumer Science, 4-H Youth Development, After School Programs, and Food Stamp Nutrition Education (FSNE).
