Have you ever wondered where turtles go in the winter or why salamanders have slimy skin?

Focusing on species native to Georgia, this Scaly Slimy Saturday at the Rock experience is sure to answer all of your questions. Cool off this summer with our cold blooded animal ambassadors.

Rock Eagle 4-H Center’s environmental educators will help children explore the world of these fascinating animals and the important role they play in our ecosystem. Participants will get an up close, personal look at native wildlife with the opportunity to touch and hold some of these magnificent creatures. This program will be fun and educational for people of all ages.

Crawl, slither, or hop on over to Rock Eagle 4-H Center from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on July 16 and explore the wonderful world of reptiles and amphibians.

This session costs $3 per person and will last approximately two hours. Doors will open at 9 a.m. Following the program, Rock Eagle’s Natural History Museum will be open. Advanced registration is required.

Participants in UGA Extension's Master Forager program find a taste for the wild 09/19/24 Becky Mills

On an unseasonably warm winter afternoon, three women armed with baskets and shears made their way along a nature trail in the woods of Pike County, Georgia. Peering into the underbrush, they stopped occasionally to examine spots of interest in and under the trees and around fallen logs and decaying stumps. A curious observer might wonder what they were searching for with such intent — unless they overheard the trio’s conversation.

Most of Georgia’s vegetable crops are grown in the southern part of the state, which, similar to California, faces drought risks. However, as the climate warms, the area is expected to receive slightly more rainfall than usual, according to CAES economist Jeff Mullen. If vegetable production in California decreases and prices rise elsewhere, Southeast producers may consider shifting from row crop to vegetable production.

Georgia vegetable production may expand as a result of climate change 09/17/24 Maria M. Lameiras

Changing weather patterns are influencing cropping systems and where certain crops can be successfully grown. Researchers in the University of Georgia’s College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences recently published a study in the journal Sustainability examining the feasibility of expanding fresh vegetable production in Georgia as increased temperatures and more frequent and extreme droughts threaten producers in the Western United States.

Southern SARE grant program seeks best practices on preventing food loss and waste 06/06/24 Maria M. Lameiras

A new national grant program administered by the Southern Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program will pump more than $10.2 million into research to address food loss and waste in the region. Supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture, the SARE Community Foods Project Food Loss and Waste Training and Technical Assistance Grants Program is seeking grant proposals from applicants working in the public sector on food loss and waste prevention.

Launched in 2021 by Camden County Agriculture and Natural Resources agent Jessica Warren and Martin Wunderly, area water agent for UGA Extension’s Northeast District, the program provides fact-based information to help property owners implement sustainable practices in their landscapes.

Georgia Green Landscape Stewards promote sustainable landscape practices at home 06/04/24 Maria M. Lameiras

Three years after its debut, the Georgia Green Landscape Stewards program is expanding throughout the state with the assistance of University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Master Gardener volunteers. Using a points-based system, the program has certified more than 200 private properties, public spaces and pollinator gardens in 47 counties as Georgia Green Landscapes, with new applications coming in every month.

Peach growers are looking forward to a fruitful season as the weather this winter and spring have been near-perfect for the sensitive crop. This year is projected to be a much-needed comeback from the disastrous season they experienced after a late freeze in March 2023 took out more than 90% of the state's crop.

Last year, the peach industry lost $60 million due to the late freeze that hit much of the Southeast in mid-March 2023, said Jeff Cook, University of Georgia Cooperative Extension agent for Peach and Taylor counties. With no freezing temperatures in the forecast and hope for strong pricing during the upcoming season, peach growers are looking forward to a much-needed rebound year.
