Raising livestock has many risks, which include the threat of predators to livestock. With this curriculum youth will learn important factors relating to predators, such as habitats, food web, types of predators and identification. Youth will also learn how to create their own risk assessment and mitigation plans. Included is a component of service-learning and application.
The curriculum is structured such that learners participate in activities focused on specific concepts; reflect on their learning through sharing, processing, and generalizing; and finally, apply new knowledge and skills in authentic settings.
Ask your program representative for a copy, or buy your own from Shop 4-H.

Hello Central Sierra 4-H! The South Lake Tahoe 4-H Student Nutrition Advisory Council Club or SNAC Club, would like to share with you some exciting news. We have concluded our 2022 Fall 4-H SNAC Club for our 4th graders at our local Boys and Girls Club of Lake Tahoe!
After 9 sessions of learning how to cook and make 9 different recipes, we say goodbye to our 4th grade SNAC Club chefs. Student chefs learned how to use measuring cups and spoons, how to read a recipe, how to safely use a knife, and more!
This year, for our community service project, students helped prepare Holiday cookies and treats for their Boys and Girls Club Tree Lighting Ceremony where over 200 students and parents showed up to celebrate. During their last day, students enjoyed making one last recipe together, Holiday Trail Mix with a Caramel Sauce drizzle, and received a cooking kit to take home to continue the practice of cooking. Cooking kits contained measuring cups and spoons, recipe book, cutting board, produce brush, insulated reusable grocery bag, grocery list, and a t-shirt.
For more information on the collaborative work between Boys & Girls Club of Lake Tahoe and 4-H, please contact Alejandra Giron at agiron@ucanr.edu or Cristina Luquin at cnluquin@ucanr.edu.
