ID 65027
University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources
County Location: Orange County
Date Posted: February 15, 2024
Closing Date: Until Filled
Department Summary:
South Coast Research and Extension Center was established by the
University in 1956 as a representative site for agricultural and
horticultural research in California's south coastal
plain-temperate climatic zone. Located on 200 acres of deep,
moderately sloped, alluvial fan soil, the Center and its mild
winter climate are conducive to farming a wide range of crops
including subtropicals as well as ornamentals for the urban
landscape. South Coast REC serves as a regional field laboratory
for UC scientists to conduct agricultural and natural resources
management research and extend research-based information to a wide
spectrum of audiences. The Center provides land, irrigation water,
labor, equipment, and other facilities, and it serves as a
repository for germplasm collections of many subtropical plants.
From 1918 to the Present a unique partnership between the
University of California, the United States Department of
Agriculture, and the County of Orange, Cooperative Extension was
originally created to provide vital research-based information to
growers and their families in this agriculturally rich community.
Today, over 80 years later, Orange County has changed from a wide
expanse of citrus groves and walnut trees to an industrial and
residential megalopolis. However, while the economy and lifestyles
throughout the South Coast region have changed, the need for
education and training has not. With a direct link to the research
base of the University of California, Cooperative Extension
continues to meet the dynamic needs of Orange County.
