Normally, we wouldn't be making a call for bugs here at IREC, but this call is different! We would like all of you photo bugs to enter the Siskiyou County Centennial Photography Contest. Please read the following details, and get your photos in by July 15. Winners will be announced at the IREC Field Day on August 13.
The University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE) of Siskiyou County and the Intermountain Research and Extension Center (IREC) announce the 2014 UC Cooperative Extension centennial photo contest. University of California, Agriculture and Natural Resources celebrates 100 years of UC Cooperative Extension researchers and educators living and working in communities to solve economic, agricultural, natural resource, youth development, and nutrition issues.
