Day of Science and Service for UCCE Centennial

To my readers:

Tomorrow is the 100th birthday of UC Cooperative Extension in California. It's been an honor for me to take part in 12 of those 100 years and what a long, interesting and productive journey this has been so far!

You are all invited to our open house tomorrow at the UCCE Santa Cruz County office in Watsonville on 1432 Freedom Blvd from 3 to 6 pm.

Also, even if you can't make it out to our open house, try and participate in our Day of Science and Service. There are three different exercises in the link below, but try out the pollinator counting. This is a pretty neat exercise, where each of you counts pollinators - don't forget, bees aren't the only ones pollinating- for three minutes.

Try it out - and remember to wish UCCE Happy 100th Birthday tomorrow!

Syrphid fly on flower - yes these are also pollinators! Count them tomorrow for three minutes as part of UCCE's Day of Science and Service.
