Submitted by editor on Wed, 05/27/2015 - 6:57amKitten season has arrived with a vengeance at Catmandu.

Submitted by editor on Sat, 04/04/2015 - 11:47amThe United Nations General Assembly has declared 2015 the International Year of Soils to raise the awareness of the importance of soils for food security, clean water and other essential ecosystem functions.

Cooperative Extension: Be safe, avoid feeding deer
Submitted by editor on Sat, 02/28/2015 - 12:31pmDeer thrive in Carson City. In fact, a permanent resident herd breeds here each year, never migrating anywhere else. Deer can be seen throughout town from the foothills to the Capitol walking down streets, jumping fences and living in people’s yards.
These urban deer have become accustomed to people and dogs and have little fear. Some people in the city think there is a deer problem when their landscapes are damaged repeatedly, their fruit eaten and plants destroyed. Others think the deer are a wonderful part of nature and love seeing them daily. They may even feed them.
