Brian Pimentel serves as the Agriculture Program Manager for the Placer County Resource Conservation District (Placer RCD), where he works with farmers, ranchers, and partner organizations to advance conservation and strengthen agricultural resilience throughout the Central Sierra region. He joined Placer RCD in 2021 after completing an 11-month GrizzlyCorps Climate Fellowship and has since led the development and implementation of numerous conservation and technical assistance programs supporting working lands.
Brian earned a Bachelor of Science in Sustainable Agriculture & Food Systems from the University of California, Davis. His experience spans soil health, water conservation, habitat enhancement, regenerative agriculture, and conservation planning. He enjoys helping producers identify resource concerns, implement practical conservation solutions, and navigate state and federal financial assistance programs.
Passionate about building a more resilient local food system, Brian believes successful conservation begins with strong relationships and practical, farmer-focused solutions. He is committed to connecting producers with the resources, knowledge, and partnerships needed to improve the long-term sustainability of their operations.
Outside of work, Brian enjoys playing music, spending time outdoors, laughing with friends, and making memories with his wife and son through family adventures.
