Can Farmland Mitigate Climate Change? Can farm and rangeland soils sequester greenhouse gasses and help stop global warming? The Marin Carbon Project is investigating whether certain management practices can make a difference. Soil cultivation and tillage techniques that reduce or eliminate soil disturbance and specialized grazing strategies are being studied. Lead scientist, Dr. Whendee Silver of UC Berkeley, will report on results to date. MALT Executive Director Bob Berner will explain the value to local farmers. We’ll also hear from Project Director John Wick and rangeland expert Jeff Creque. Presented in collaboration with the Institute at the Golden Gate. Space is limited. We do not keep waiting lists. Pre-registration required. COST: $10 / $15 non-members |
