Manure Management

Manure management projects typically address the storage, transfer, and treatment of manure or other animal wastes, reducing erosion resulting from high animal traffic, or improving systems for water use and runoff in dairy or other farm systems. In the past, projects of this type were designed, planned, and implemented through Marin RCD's Conserving our Watersheds (COW) Program within a span of 2-3 years.
