About ANR South Coast REC
South Coast Research and Extension Center (SCREC) was established by the University of California in 1956 as a representative site for agricultural 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.
Research
The center also provides labor, equipment, facilities and technical and management support to UC academics and to personnel from co-operating non-UC organizations, such as USDA. Up to 9,000 hours of labor will be available to support approved projects.
