Ongoing research

My husband and teen son just returned from a tour of Italy and Greece on a school trip with teachers and classmates.

On Friday, August 31st the Woodlake High School 9th grade Agriculture Academy students, led by teacher Don Thornburg, had the opportunity to visit the UC Lindcove Research Center.

Thirty Hanford Ag Academy 9th grade students, led by teacher Jason Ferreira came to Lindcove REC to experience Agricultural Science on August 30.

You hike it, bike it, and sight-see it. You exercise the dog (and yourself), meet up with friends...and take images. That would be at the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden, and now the officials want to see your images--or up to five of your best images.
