Due to current events our offices will be closed to the public. The Extension Team recognizes the challenges and impacts facing families, communities and local economies in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our Educators are available via email and phone to answer questions and provide information. Please click here for a list of our Educators and contact info.

We are currently accepting:

• Plant samples for ID or diagnosis.
• Insects for identification.
• Soil samples submitted for pH testing.  Please follow the instructions given on the Horticulture/Agriculture page footnote on how to properly prepare a soil sample.  Please click here for instructions.

All samples can either be sent in by mail at Cape Cod Cooperative Extension, P.O. Box 367, Barnstable, MA 02630.  Or dropped off at our new location: 212 Mid-Tech Dr., W. Yarmouth.  Please be sure all of your samples are clearly marked with your name and accompanied by either a Soil Test form or Diagnostic form.  Both forms are located at our drop box at our new location.  Please note that the office is still closed to the public at this time.
