Cape Cod Cooperative Extension

Cape Cod Cooperative Extension is the education department for Barnstable County. CCCE educates the public on topics as diverse as deer ticks to water quality and much, much more. 

For more than 100 years and through depressions, recessions, wars, and pandemics Cooperative Extension has served as a critical resource to bring applied research and science from Land-Grant (and in our case Sea Grant too) Universities to address many of the most pressing needs of our communities. As our community faces this new challenge, Cape Cod Cooperative Extension staff will carry on their role as educators, collaborators, researchers, problem solvers and citizens.

Below you will find resources put together from multiple departments, such as the Hazardous Waste and Water Quality department, Agriculture, Horticulture, and Master Gardener department, Coastal Processes department, and Marine Programs. Enjoy!
