Providing extension resources in Spanish
We are on a mission to help Hispanic communities access important information about natural resources.
The Hispanic community in the United States is growing rapidly, with approximately 19% of the US population (that’s over 62 million people!) identifying as Hispanic. In states like California, Texas, Florida, Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada, over 25% of residents belong to this vibrant community.
Language Matters: Most Hispanic adults are native Spanish speakers. While more people are learning English, there’s still a language barrier in some communities. Imagine trying to understand complex information about nature and resources when the materials are not in your first language!

Become a Bluebird Watcher Our bluebird research project was designed as an extension outreach program inviting the general public and local 4H programs to “Become Blue Bird Watchers” with us by following along virtually, coming to the center for information and field visits and even having families deploy and monitor nest boxes on their properties. If you want to learn more or view previous session recordings they are posted under the heading “Become a Bluebird Watcher Virtual Series” at https://rcrec-ona.ifas.ufl.edu/virtual-classroom/. |
