UC Cooperative Extension, Capitol Corridor
Serving Sacramento, Solano, and Yolo Counties
Knowledge that grows in your community
UC Cooperative Extension (UCCE) is part of University of California (UC), Agriculture and Natural Resources (ANR) and has been serving California communities since 1914. Its role is to take research from the University of California and make it practical for people who can use it, including farmers, ranchers, land managers, families, and young people. The "cooperative" in the name comes from how it's funded, with federal, state, and county governments sharing the cost.
UC Cooperative Extension Capitol Corridor serves Sacramento, Solano, and Yolo Counties. Together, our counties stretch along the corridor from the edge of the Bay Area to California’s capital and east to the edge of the Sierra foothills, taking in the Delta and the southern Sacramento Valley along the way.

| UCCE's agricultural work is led by advisors, scientists who work out of county offices rather than on a traditional UC campus. They run field trials on local farms and ranches, help growers solve problems with pests, water, soil, and crop production, and share their findings through workshops, field days, and newsletters. Their work also covers livestock, natural resources, and wildlife. Because advisors stay in close contact with UC specialists, questions that come up in the field often become the starting point for new research. Our community research programs are driven by what the agricultural community needs. If you are a rancher or a grower, and need assistance with practical, relevant solutions, we welcome you to reach out to us! | On the education side, 4-H Youth Development gives young people the chance to build leadership, communication, and science skills through project work and club activities. The Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) helps families with limited incomes learn to plan, shop for, and prepare healthy meals. And through the UC Master Gardener and Master Food Preserver programs, UCCE trains local volunteers who then teach their communities about home gardening and safe food preservation, using information backed by UC research. |
