Carbon Farm Planning & Implementation
The Contra Costa Resource Conservation District (CCRCD) will be installing an Urban Food Garden in partnership with the Rodeo Citizens Association (RCA) at the Rodeo Recreation Center in the spring/summer of 2022. The Garden plan would include organic fruits and vegetables, as well as pollinator plants to sequester carbon and create habitat for bees and butterflies, and water-wise, sustainable garden features. We have a robust Agriculture and Urban Farms Program at the CCRCD and would love to expand it into the town of Rodeo. This project would create a food garden for the community. Such a project is both timely and vital to this environmental justice community with no access to local food.
