Super excited to share this work and grateful to squeeze in another fun field season at this great study site Sierra Foothill Research and Extension Center UC Riverside CNAS



Awesome to see Cordi Craig Placer Resource Conservation District and Rebecca Wayman CAfirescience working with burn boss Chris Paulus to monitor the effects of landowner burns. Keep spreading the #goodfire news! caes.ucdavis.edu/news/little-fi…

In march, we partnered with UC Davis Veterinary Medicine to produce cattle health webinars, diving into various #cattle health topics. The recordings are now available.⬇️ Cohosted by Tracy Schohr and Rebecca Ozeran. farmprogress.com/beef/cattle-he… Pam Kan-Rice





John Angelos, a UC Davis professor who conducts research at our Sierra Foothill Research and Extension Center to develop better vaccines aimed at preventing pinkeye in #cattle, says that the center allows him to conduct research in a natural environment.

Scientists from UC Davis Veterinary Medicine continue a study on pink eye in cattle. Here, a foxtail is carefully removed from a cow’s eye (these can cause ulcers that lead to pink eye). The vet used a fluorescent eye wash, which did not stain the eye green - indicating no current infection 👍


Youth and community members participated in the 4-H Sutter-Yuba "Color Me Green” 5K Run/Walk. The event presented a learning opportunity for improving their #health through a fun event. Why the green? Participants were showered with green dye to mark every mile. Sierra Foothill Research and Extension Center



Did you know SFREC hosts collaborators from all across the state? @StuartSchwab comes all the way from UC Riverside to study how native plants are established in the presence of fungal partners.
