Carbon Farm Planning & Implementation
In 2019, the Yolo County RCD (YCRCD) completed an extensive carbon farm plan for 760-acre property owned by the City of Davis. The property is part of a large regional planning effort and is located east of the City of Davis. The YCRCD proposes to take the first step of the plan by installing 2,000 feet of hedgerow on one corner of the property. The initial planting will be done by high school students from a disadvantaged community in Sacramento, and led by the Center for Land-Based Learning, a local non-profit with 20 years of experience taking high school students on to farms and wildlands for habitat restoration work. The project is strongly supported by the City of Davis.
