What's New?
For livestock producers impacted by the recent fires, UC Cooperative Extension has developed a site to help. The site includes a fact sheet on Farm Service Agency funding resources that may be available to you and other tools. Click here to learn more.
UC Cooperative Extension has recently developed and deployed a wildfire preparedness survey for Northeastern California. Please consider taking 15-20 minutes to participate in this survey to inform us about how you are preparing for wildfire. This will help inform our counties and our partners on what residents and communities are doing to prepare for wildfire and how best we can tailor programs to best serve local residents. You can access the voluntary survey here: UC Cooperative Extension Wildfire Preparedness Survey
UC Cooperative Extension offices across the state are following the state order resuming limited on-site operations. We are continuing to work on projects and are happy to provide assistance by phone, email, or by appointment in the office. We hope you stay healthy and encourage you to be vigilant in keeping our community safe.
