S3 E14: Sorting through California's 30x30 goal
About this episode
In October of 2020, Governor Newsom signed an executive order to conserve 30% of California’s land and coastal water by 2030. In this episode Jennifer Norris, Deputy Secretary for Biodiversity and Habitat at the California Natural Resources Agency provides an update for ranchers on this goal and explains the strategy.
In this conversation hear how:
- the 30x30 plan incorporates working with ranchers and livestock producers to reach the 30%;
- increasing voluntary conservation easements is part of the strategy;
- to find out of if any of the acres you manage are eligible to be counted in the 30%;
- and more.
