Celebration event which takes place on Thursday, July 24 at the V-V
Experimental Ranch at Mahan Park beginning at 9:30am. So, sign up right
away.  The morning program will include recognition of influential
contributors to Arizona agriculture, families, and communities over the last
100 years. The morning program will also highlight significant research and
management of Arizona's forests for the last 100 years and beyond, describe
the history and impact of the Arizona Tree Ring Lab, and discuss Arizona
climate trends in the past and into the future.  Following a BBQ lunch,
there will be a two-hour afternoon session with hands on learning and
demonstrations on various topics from home canning and remote sensing to
Native American food production and forest health.  For more information,

Office (928.474.4160) directly to register.  We cannot accept registrations

CALS EMAIL UPGRADE:

This summer, CALS-CCT will be retiring our aging email servers and moving
CALS email services (@cals.arizona.edu and @ag.arizona.edu accounts) onto
new servers at UITS.  These servers will still support the @ag or @cals
email accounts.  Simply said, we're only changing out the back-end
components.  There will be an email going out this Friday, July 11, with
information regarding the upgrade.  That email will be legitimate and will
contain a link to a survey that must be completed by the end of summer.  We
hope this new upgrade will provide a better web interface, easier
integration with your mobile device, and better up-time (especially during
power outages).  Keep an eye out for the email on Friday.

UPCOMING EVENTS:

WRRC Brown Bag:  Dusty Dry to Sopping Wet? Summer and Fall Climate Outlook
for Southern Arizona <https://wrrc.arizona.edu/node/12948> , Thursday, July

Special Programs Honor the 45th Anniversary of the Apollo Moon Landing,
Sunday, July 20, PBS 6.  Arizona Public Media will honor the 45th
Anniversary of the Apollo Moon Landing with two back-to-back special
programs:  "Rocket Men," a BBC production, and "Earthlight," a documentary
produced by UA CALS. Alan Fischer, public information officer at the
Tucson-based Planetary Science Institute, will introduce these two specials.
"Rocket Men" reveals the epic behind-the-scenes struggle that ultimately
carried men to the Moon. "Earthlight" explores the challenges facing the
human race and how the technology we are designing to return to the Moon
might be extremely useful here on Earth as well. Both programs will air on
PBS 6 and the UA Channel on July 20 at the following times:  1) "Rocket Men"
- 2:00pm (and again on Tuesday, July 22 at 2:00am), and 2 ) "Earthlight" -
3:30pm (and again on Tuesday, July 22 at 3:30am).  For additional show times
