The UC Hopland Research and Extension Center (HREC) invites you to celebrate science and nature with us at our spectacular site. Immerse yourself in the beauty of HREC through interactive field activities led by prominent scientists in their respective fields.

The 4-H Office is closed to observe President's Day. It will reopen on February 18th.

Youth ages 5-18 are invited to come make three jars of a jam or jelly of their choice (apple, strawberry, peach or grape), then take one home and enter the other two in the 2024 El Dorado County Fair! Bring your own fruit and the Master Food Preservers will provide everything else.

The Kings County 4-H Leaders Council meets the first Tuesday of every month at 6:30 p.m. in the Kings UCCE Multi-Purpose Room to discuss 4-H business, plan events, and develop the program. All Kings County 4-H adult volunteers, senior youth members, and parents are encouraged to attend.

Bring your family to enjoy a very short hike (1 mile - strollers and toddlers welcome!) to see our lambs in the fields. Enjoy a variety of sheep related activities suitable for children after the hike at the Rod Shippey Hall patio.

Most of us freeze when we see a snake. Some of us run for the shovel or hoe to kill it. What should we do? We will help identify different snakes and their behavior. Get tips on how to avoid running into them. We will also talk about the service they provide as well as the danger.

Learn the art and science behind composting from a local Master Composter. Learn about the importance of managing your organic waste (food scraps and yard trimmings) at home. As the drought worsens and the climate warms, home-based waste management has never been more relevant.

Join us Saturday March 16,2024 to hear Tom Dinwoodie, Merced Master Gardener present a free community workshop on Container Vegetable Gardening.
