UCCE Shasta County

The University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE) is the public service and applied research division of the University of California. UCCE is a cooperatively supported effort between, county and federal government, and the state (University of CA).  Generally, the University of California provides program staff with Shasta County providing the support. At UCCE, we apply for grants to conduct applied research on issues pertinent to Shasta County agriculture, natural and human resources. This partnership enables to the intellectual resources of the University of California to address critical issues such as rangeland and forest production, water quality, food safety, childhood obesity, wildfire, oak woodland management, integrated pest management and development of new agricultural industries in Shasta County. The statewide networks of agriculture, natural resources, forestry, 4-H, and nutrition and consumer science staff are dedicated to conducting research and extending results to farmers, ranchers, forest land owners, students, teachers and interested citizens.
