Stanislaus County

Welcome

The University of California Cooperative Extension in Stanislaus County is part of a nationwide system of off-campus education, based on a three-way partnership among the County Board of Supervisors, the University of California, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. U.C. Cooperative Extension brings the resources of the University of California to Stanislaus County residents. The State of California provides approximately 66% of our funding, the federal government 18%, the county 12% and gifts and grants 4%. Each partner plays a key role in providing funding and support for our programs. Stanislaus County's commitment and support has made it possible for us to bring science-based research and education programs to county residents for 100 continuous years.
