If you haven't met the Cooperative Extension faculty and staff in
Pasco county, please visit the east office to meet them and learn
more about their services. They welcome the opportunity to
talk with you and explain the unique role Extension plays in your
community.
Your county Extension faculty offer educational services in Pasco
through a three-way cooperative arrangement between the Board of
County Commissioners, the University of Florida, and the United
States Department of Agriculture. They are actually off-campus
faculty members of the University of Florida. Your Extension
agents are trained professional educators who desire the opportunity
to serve you.
