To our Cecil County Constituents:

Given Governor Hogan’s directives on Nov 10, 2020, Extension in Cecil County is reverting to telework. Our commitment to provide the services you need in a timely and effective manner has not changed! In the interest of safety for our staff and the community, we are still able to hold virtual meetings, training sessions, house and farm calls (with social distancing & masks), field questions via phone or email, and provide our monthly newsletter. As members of your community, we want to serve in manners consistent with health and safety measures as determined by the CDC and required by the County and State level health officials. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

You can find our office personnel with their roles and emails here (https://agnr.umd.edu/about/directory/cecil-county)
