COVID-19 continues to impact our program and the ability to complete standard UC Master Gardener volunteer hour requirements. Based on feedback of program coordinators, adjustments to volunteer hour requirements are available for the 2021-22 program year (July 1, 2021 June 30, 2022).
Amongst the hustle and bustle of the holiday season donors to the UC Master Gardener Program came through with strong support of our programs. Across the state we raised more than $86,000 (cumulatively during Nov. and Dec.) for county programs.
As we continue in virtual and hybrid environments, UC IPM is focused on providing quality online resources with research-based pest management information.
Many counties are looking for training content and are communicating with each other to find recordings and online offerings. If you are looking for a training or have one you would like to share Extension Campus is a good place to start.
As spring is around the corner and programs start to prepare for new UC Master Gardener training classes. Don't forget to incorporate items from the UC Master Gardener Program's inclusive volunteer selection materials.
