Amid the current COVID-19 pandemic, Cooperative Extension personnel across the nation are quickly adaptingto daily changes while continuing to respond to the needs of clients. This article provides examples of how wein North Carolina State Extension Forestry have responded to the challenges we have faced thus far. Thesolutions and tools described can be used in the current situation and for future pandemics, disasters, andother unique events that require "alternative" arrangements. The needs of landowners, farmers, youths, andthe public at large will not diminish during this unprecedented time; therefore, we should continue to innovateto ensure that our impact is not diminished.
