In Tehama County, resource conservation is less about a hands-off approach to nature and more about how residents and agriculture work with the land to maintain a mutually beneficial relationship. For the Resource Conservation District of Tehama County, composting is one area where new environmental needs can blend with traditional farming practices.
A project manager for more than 10 years, Kevin Greer’s current work includes a mobile irrigation lab and a partnership with the California Department of Food and Agriculture’s Healthy Soils program.
