Climate Resilience Through Habitat Restoration on California Lands

ਕੈਲੀਫੋਰਨੀਆ ਦੀਆਂ ਜ਼ਮੀਨਾਂ ‘ਤੇ ਰਿਹਾਇਸ਼ੀ ਬਹਾਲੀ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਜਲਵਾਯੂ ਲਚਕਤਾ

In 2023, the Wildlife Conservation Board awarded $19.4 million to Placer RCD and 39 other Resource Conservation Districts (RCDs) in California. This funding will be used by the RCDs to carry out projects aimed at creating new habitats and sequestering carbon, which will provide substantial benefits to both working and public lands. Placer RCD specifically received $450,000 from this grant which will pay a healthy sum for plants and materials. The grant comes at a critical time when California’s pollinators and wildlife are facing significant threats due to habitat loss and climate change. With this funding, a large-scale effort will be initiated, resulting in long-term advantages for California’s land, climate, and its people.

Placer RCD is grateful for the support from the Wildlife Conservation Board and acknowledges the leadership provided by the California Association of Conservation Districts (CARCD) in securing the funding and providing implementation support.
