About Us

Park County Extension

CSU Extension specialists serve all 64 counties in Colorado, working alongside communities to address local needs, share knowledge, and co-create solutions to help individuals and communities thrive.

Park County has an average elevation of over 9,000 feet above sea level presenting challenges in ranching, gardening, and cooking and baking. CSU Extension is here to help provide resources to make those “challenges” a little less challenging. Our dedicated staff connects community members to programs, resources, and expertise on a wide range of topics and tailored to the unique needs of the the Park County area.

Our mission and priorities

Community needs drive our work. Our mission is to provide information and education, and encourage the application of research-based knowledge in response to local, state, and national issues affecting individuals, youth, families, agricultural enterprises and communities of 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.
