Announcements

We are excited to announce the next phase of the Central Coast Soil Hub’s regional rangeland conservation program. We have hired Grant Johnson as our new regional rangeland conservation planner. Grant will be based out of the Coastal San Luis RCD but he is available to provide technical assistance to ranchers and rangeland managers in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura Counties. He will also play a major role in continuing the development of the Central Coast Rancher-to-Rancher network, as well as organizing a variety of technical workshops focused on rangeland conservation.

If you’d like to get in contact with Grant, you can reach him at gjohnson@coastalrcd.org
