GivingTuesday is the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. It’s an opportunity for people around the world to give through acts of kindness or gifts of time, talent or money.
On Dec. 2, UC ANR is leveraging the energy of GivingTuesday to tell our stories, engage advocates and transform communities all across California. Our work brings research-based information and practices to local communities to improve their lives and livelihoods.
GivingTuesday connects us to impact. It feels meaningful to join with our communities around our shared values. And when something gives you hope for a better world, you want to be part of it, again and again.
Make a donation on GivingTuesday to the Madera Master Gardeners program. Support your community.

UCANR IPM-Sharing science-based solutions for your pest problems
IPM is an ecosystem-based strategy that focuses on long-term prevention of pests or their damage through a combination of techniques such as biological control, habitat manipulation, modification of cultural practices, and use of resistant varieties. Pesticides are used only after monitoring indicates they are needed according to established guidelines, and treatments are made with the goal of removing only the target organism. Pest control materials are selected and applied in a manner that minimizes risks to human health, beneficial and nontarget organisms, and the environment.

UCANR Master Beekeeper program
The California Master Beekeeper Program (CAMBP) is a continuous train-the-trainer effort. The CAMBP’s vision is to certify Honey Bee Ambassador, Apprentice, Journey, and Master level beekeepers so they can effectively communicate the importance of honey bees and other pollinators within their communities, serve as mentors for other beekeepers, and become the informational conduit between the beekeeping communities throughout the state and UCCE staff. Explore the Certifications Page for more information.
Wondering if beekeeping is right for you? We recommend to start by asking yourself these 9 Questions to Ask Yourself Before you Start Beekeeping.
Our mission is to disseminate science-based information to stewards and ambassadors for honey bees and beekeeping. This includes local, state, and federal regulatory information like the California State Apiary Act.
