What's New?
The NCRC&DC is sponsoring several workshops on pollinators and activities that can promote healthy pollinator habitat. The workshops will be held in cooperation with "Partners for Sustainable Pollination." Workshops have been held in Sonoma County at several locations, recently in Lake County, and future workshops are planned. We are also co-sponsoring a pollinator symposium with "Partners for Sustainable Pollination." The fourth Annual Bee Symposium will be held Sunday, March 7, 2010 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the SUBUD CENTER, 234 Hutchins Ave, Sebastopol.

Visit us at our booth this year at EarthDay with Noyo Food Forest at the Fort Bragg High School, Fort Bragg, Mendocino County, April 24, 2010, from noon to 6:00 p.m. See the newly completed rainwater collection system at the site and the newly planted raingarden. The Council purchased the storage tank for the project, and assisted in project development.

The NCRC&DC is supporting continued on-the-ground demonstration projects for generating a useful project during fire fuel biomass reduction, such as development of a marketable charcoal product for barbecues and incorporation of charcoal as a soil amendment in agricultural lands.
The Council recently approved a draft report on the Parlin Fork Biomass study, and the final report is now available to download on our Downloads page.
