How to resolve AdBlock issue? LAKEPORT, Calif. — The Lake County Resource Conservation District and USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service invite farmers, ranchers, agriculture professionals, range owners, forest landowners and other stakeholders to participate in the first meeting of the local work group of Lake County.
The meeting will be held in two sessions on Thursday, Aug. 7, in the Mendocino College Lake Center Round Room at 2565 Parallel Drive in Lakeport.
Local work groups, or LWG, are held by Natural Resources Conservation Service, or NRCS, field offices in partnership with resource conservation districts to seek input on conservation programming at the local level.
The LWG creates a pathway for landowners and farmers to identify, prioritize and provide feedback on natural resource issues and related concerns within the county.
Input gathered at the local work group meeting will be submitted to the State Technical Committee to guide NRCS programs in California.
The LWG will bring together a diverse group of partners within Lake County to discuss, prioritize, and develop recommendations around local agricultural and forest health concerns.
Participation is open to nonprofit organizations, state and federal agencies, local governments, and members of the public with a vested interest in the natural resources of Lake County.
These meetings are required to be held annually, are advisory in nature, and have no enforcement or implementation authority.
This meeting of Lake County’s LWG will consist of two separate sessions.
Attendees will have the option of joining this meeting in-person or virtually via Zoom. The morning session, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m., will focus on agriculture and rangeland, and the afternoon session, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., will focus on forest health and wildfire resilience.
Due to space constraints, please limit attendance to a maximum of three representatives per organization.
