Show Notes: Learn about the secrets of harmonizing agriculture with environmental conservation as we sit down with Brittany Jensen and Valerie Quinto, leaders of their respective Resource Conservation Districts in Northern California. Journey with us through the sustainable initiatives that are shaping the future of our lands, from salmon habitat restoration to cutting-edge soil conservation practices. Learn how these RCDs are not just preserving our environment but enhancing agricultural productivity through groundbreaking public-private partnerships, setting a precedent for ecological stewardship that invites the community to play a pivotal role.
Since this podcast was recorded, Valerie has moved on from her position at the Sonoma RCD. She remains involved with conservation in Sonoma County and beyond, and will be a lifelong fan of RCDs.
