San Luis Obispo County Programs

<i>What is Cooperative Extension?</i> What is Cooperative Extension?
California Cooperative Extension is the local link to research, information, and expertise for the University of California. Instead of teaching students in classrooms, Cooperative Extension advisors and staff work directly with people in San Luis Obispo County. Since 1922, when the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors officially established a partnership with CE, we have been part of a nationwide network of educators and scientists who use education to help local people solve problems.

Did you know that "Head-Heart-Hands-Health" represents the four H's in the 4-H clover? Whether youth participate in clubs, family-science programs, or in other program settings, the 4-H Youth Development Program's mission and goals remain the same....to help youth develop to their full potential!

Master Gardeners Master Gardeners
Master Gardener volunteers are recruited and trained by land grant universities throughout the United States and Canada. Local programs are coordinated by horticulture advisors at County University of California Cooperative Extension offices with a primary goal to answer the myriad of questions from home gardeners. Master Gardeners extend to their communities the benefits of horticulture research developed at the University level. Master Gardeners have become an important connection to the public sector by the University of California.

The UC Integrated Hardwood Range Management Program conducts research and educational programs on oak regeneration and the status and interrelationships of soil, water, wildlife, and plant resources. This information is being used by woodland owners, managers and land use planners to develop sound management strategies to maintain oak woodlands for the enjoyment and benefit of all Californians.
