Larimer County Extension

Extension offices are a partnership between a land-grant university & a county agency. In our case, that partnership is between Colorado State University & Larimer County.  

This partnership brings information & resources from CSU to you.  This could come in the form of fact sheets, consultations, workshops, & more.  All our services are offered at low to no cost.
