Marin RCD’s Carbon Farming Program<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

In our Carbon Farming Program, the Marin RCD provides farmers and ranchers with financial and technical assistance for the planning, design, and implementation of carbon beneficial practices.<\/p>\n

Since 2008, Marin RCD has been directly involved in carbon sequestration research, planning, and implementation as a partner in the Marin Carbon Project<\/a>. The Marin Carbon Project – a partnership of local agricultural, conservation, and County organizations – seeks to assist landowners and land managers in serving as stewards of soil health and undertaking carbon farming in a manner that can improve on-farm productivity and viability, enhance ecosystem functions, and stop and reverse climate change.<\/p>\n

As of 2020, Marin RCD and partners in the Marin Carbon Project have completed 19 Carbon Farm Plans. Presently, Marin RCD is writing one new plan and has a waitlist of 68 parcels interested in receiving one! Contact us if you would like to be added to our list.<\/p>\n
