Are you interested in funding for stewardship practices
on a ranch, farm or dairy in Marin County?
This is an ongoing application for Marin County producers to apply for projects on their land.
Marin RCD receives several types of funding for specific projects, and
based on your interest we can match you with the current available funding.
Pre-construction project: An eroding streambank on a ranch is negatively impacting water quality.
Post-construction: Streambank erosion repaired with earthwork (changing the slope of the bank) and vegetation (native plants to stabilize the bank soil).
