Slugs On The Go

On Tuesday, July 26 a group of 20 retirees gathered at the UCSC Hay Barn and hiked up the hill for a tour of the UCSC Farm. With an abundance of crops and the activity of a working farm in the background, special guests lectured and answered questions on dry farmed tomatoes, gopher management, no-till methodology, campus history, and the future of sustainable food systems.

Website Manager

We are looking for a volunteer to keep content updated on our website. The position requires the ability to use the campus WCMS (Web Content Management System). If you are a UCSC Retiree that was responsible for maintaining pages on your department website, that would be ideal. But if you have the desire, interest, and a little bit of tech savvy, there is also the opportunity for training. For more info please contact us at ucscsilverslug@gmail.com
