We are happy to announce our offices are now open to the public on an “appointment only” basis.

Masks are required and we request that a COVID screening form be completed as well. If you would like to stop by, please call 518-622-9820 x100 for the Agroforestry Resource Center in Acra or 518-828-3346 X209 for the Extension Education Center in Hudson. We continue to maintain the contactless drop off bins in front of both buildings for soil samples. Thank you!

CCE Remembers Mike McCrary

The staff and board are sorry to share the sad news that Mike McCrary of Hunter, NY, passed peacefully on Wednesday, October 28th at home, surrounded by dogs and friends. Mike was a staunch supporter and friend of Extension for many years. He served on the Board of CCE Greene County from 2006 through 2011. Mike returned following the consolidation and remained on the board from 2013 through 2019. Mike was also a member of the Environment and Natural Resources Program Committee and the Siuslaw Model Forest Committee. A memorial service will be planned in the future. He will be missed!
