Conservation and Carbon Farm Plan for TomKat Ranch

Implementation
The San Mateo RCD, in collaboration with NRCS and Point Blue Conservation Science, with guidance from Jeff Creque of the Carbon Cycle Institute, developed a Carbon Farm Plan for TomKat Ranch in Pescadero, CA. This plan lays out a path forward to enhance carbon capture on the ranch, consistent with their existing management plans. With the goal of promoting sustainable food systems and becoming a carbon sink, the plan looks at resource management concerns and opportunities while suggesting carbon-beneficial practices and potential outcomes.
