Time: All day

Location: Activities & Recreation Center (ARC), UC Davis Campus

April 2, 2015 IS THE OPENING DAY TO REGISTER FOR Advances in Walnut Production Short Course, to be held at UC Davis November 16-19, 2015. The short course will sell out very quickly so it is very important to register early if you want to attend! The short course is a very valuable educa-tional opportunity for both new and experienced growers, and I hope to see many central valley wal-nut growers attend.
