California organizations are receiving seven of the 55
nationally-approved Conservation Innovation Grants (CIGs), announced by USDA
Secretary Tom Vilsack. The projects will help develop new farmer-friendly
conservation technologies in areas such as sustainable wine-grape growing,
on-farm pollinator habitat and biodiversity, conservation tillage and more.
Additional projects will receive CIG grants from NRCS California in an upcoming
announcement. To see the complete list of nationally-selected CIG projects go

June 22-27 is National Pollinator Week, highlighting the importance of bees
and other pollinators in our ecosystems and in agriculture. Pollinators need the
attention. They have been declining due to parasites, diseases and a mysterious
colony collapse disorder. NRCS in California has been working with private
groups and farmers to help native pollinators augment the "labor forces" more
traditionally occupied by their domesticated cousins. |
