The Screven County Extension Office is open but the lobby area is closed. To maintain a safe environment, we will attempt to handle as much public/client business as possible through phone, email and curbside service.
We are still accepting soil, water, and plant samples. There is a place to put them with instructions; located right beside the front door of our office.
If you have any questions, please feel free to let us know.
