Northern Sacramento Valley Climate Investments in Action
Protection of Shasta County Ranch
The Shasta Land Trust acquire an agricultural conservation easement that permanently protects Ross Ranch from development
The property offers habitat protection, wildfire protection, climate resilience, land-based learning, regenerative agriculture, and equitable access to open space
Supported by approximately $5.6 million by the California Strategic Growth Council’s Sustainable Agricultural Lands Conservation Program (SALC)
Healthy Soils Program Sparks Long-Term Sustainable Change in Glenn County
In 2020, Leonard Loewen, a Glenn County walnut farmer, received a grant of over $98,000 from the Healthy Soils program
During the three-year grant period, Loewen noticed that the healthy soils practices not only helped keep the soil moist, but also increased the flow of nutrients to walnut trees and helped reduce pest and disease problems in the orchard
After witnessing the benefits, Loewen decided to continue implementing the healthy soils practices, and his farm is now certified organic

Who is eligible?
A number of implemented California Climate Investments projects span multiple geographic boundaries (e.g., a transit bus line or large forestry project crossing county lines). While most projects can be tied to one project address, where it is not feasible to associate a project with a single region, district, or county, the same project data is included in each area that benefits from the investment. This method of attribution tends to increase the implemented project totals reported here. See the Project List for a more detailed explanation of the methodology the California Air Resources Board uses to evaluate projects that cross geographic boundaries.
