This document is intended to be an operational guide and reference tool for Extension professionals and volunteers involved in the Extension Master Gardener program to help accomplish the mission and values of the program and Extension through the outreach within our Nevada communities. The handbook will be reviewed regularly by Extension professionals and volunteers to ensure its relevance and accuracy in meeting the needs of the Extension professionals and volunteers. 

This document is a living document, but when updates occur, they will be communicated with our Extension professionals and volunteers.

Counties within Nevada may have a county handbook that includes additional county-specific information. Please be in contact with your county.
