About Geospatial Extension

The National Geospatial Technology Extension Network (NGTEN) is essentially what eXtension calls a Community Practice – an informal network that helps Geospatial Extension Specialists (GES) share ideas, leverage successful educational programs and geospatial applications, and ultimately identify the “best of the best” for implementation locally. Participating states are tied together with a common goal and not through funding (any federal agency support has been limited to seed money in all cases).
