Welcome to UMaine Extension for Knox
and Lincoln Counties

The University of Maine Cooperative Extension office for Knox and Lincoln counties is located on the Manktown Road in Waldoboro. We moved into our new location in September 2002, after being located both on Main Street in Rockland and on Jefferson Street in Waldoboro.

Our Extension staff are here to help local residents improve their lives through educational programs, publications, workshops and events. We provide unbiased, research-based information that focuses on current issues and current needs, along with access to the University of Maine. For more information on the array of programs we offer, click on our 2008 Annual Report.

To find out how we can help you, browse our Web site or contact us by phone or e-mail.
