Our Mission: to promote biodiversity conservation in vineyard-dominated landscapes through education and research while maintaining agronomic quality, economic viability and social equity.

About Vinecology

VINECOLOGY was initiated by students and researchers at the University of California, Davis with the goal of developing a world-wide, collaborative network of students, industry professionals, non-profits, and academic researchers that share an interest in improving the science and practice of biodiversity conservation in vineyard-dominated landscapes.

Our goal is to promote research, education, and collaboration that will contribute to effective conservation strategies that draw on our collective knowledge but are tailored to the unique conditions of individual sites and needs of particular growers. In order to accomplish this we are seeking to: 1) improve our scientific understanding of the interaction between vineyards and native habitats; and 2) increase the exchange of information, ideas, and expertise between academic and industry professionals from around the world.

This initiative is in its infancy and we are actively seeking new partners and participants.

Hi everyone!

Spring is springing and the birds are singing and I would love to see you all this weekend for 2 hours to finish up the winter work at the Student Farm's organic vineyard! The Student Farm on campus has an organic table grape vineyard. The Vinecology graduate group has taken it under it's wing. We are planning a work party this weekend. Would you be interested in practicing your vineyard skills? All we need to do is tighten wires, install new cross arms and tie up some canes. All this could get done in one 2-hour period with enough hands. Plus, the more the merrier!

PLEASE fill out this simple and quick poll http://www.doodle.com/3t376ixdmrvhknfz to pick a time for this Sunday. I'll only be emailing those again with the final time to those who either fill out the poll or email back their interest. I will also post the final time at http://vinecology.ucdavis.edu/

And...if you happen to have a socket wrench with LONG sockets in the size of 11 mm or 7/16, please please bring them.

I look forward to seeing your name on the doodle poll!,

gratefully yours,

Teena Stockert
