About Us

Grand County Extension 

Grand County Extension helps mountain residents improve their quality of life by offering educational opportunities and programs that provide unbiased, research-based information on forestry, wildfire, mountain gardening, wildlife, noxious weeds, and more. Through our 4-H programs, we help youth develop valuable life skills.

Our mission

Community needs drive our work. Our mission is guided by four core values: trust, integrity, a community‑based approach, and inclusivity. Through these values, we provide information and education and encourage the use of research‑based knowledge in response to local, state, and national issues affecting individuals, youth, families, agricultural enterprises, and communities across Colorado.

We are part of the land-grant university system nationwide. We draw from the University’s research-based resources to strengthen community partnerships, boost the economy, engage families and youth, and enhance our quality of life.
