CONSERVATION PLANS FOR BOTH TUOLUMNE COUNTY AND SACRAMENTO COUNTY RESIDENTS
Sloughhouse RCD was recently awarded funds through the Conservation Agriculture Planning Grant Program (CAPGP) which will fund the development of various types of agricultural conservation plans. The funded plans will promote conservation efforts which will help to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, adapt to climate change impacts, and promote environmental and agricultural sustainability for local landowners, ranchers and farmers. Farms must be in Sacramento County or Tuolumne County (we have partnered with the Tuolumne RCD to fund a handful of plans in that county).

Please use this form to indicate which Conservation Planning Activity you would be interested in. Please only select one plan! At this time, we are looking award one conservation plan per applicant.
