A sink with a burst pipe and an adult looking stricken

The Forsyth County Extension office is temporarily closed. We have had an incident with a burst pipe so we are unable to receive county clients in our 5110 Piney Grove Road office. The county Extension office is working with Forsyth County government to make a plan to continue to service the community while repairs are made. Be aware, all UGA offices close at noon on December 24th and reopen at 8am on Friday, January 2nd. As soon as we know how our office will function going forward we will post it here. Thank you!!

For now, please email all ANR questions to Forsyth.Extension@uga.edu. Send all Family and Consumer Sciences questions to Roshan.Ramlal@uga.edu. Send all 4-H questions to ForsythCounty4H@uga.edu. You can call our office at the regular number, 770-887-2418, but for now, please understand your call will go to voicemail.
