SUMMARY:ACRCD Supports Ag Day in Livermore\, CA
DESCRIPTION:ACRCD Supports Ag Day in Livermore\, CA\nThe sun shined brightly on third grade students from across the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District (LVJUSD) who visited Livermore High School for Ag Day on Tuesday\, April 18\, 2023. Since 2015\, Ag Day’s partnership between LHS and several community partners has resulted in a lively and engaging experience to teach students about the importance of agriculture\, its impact on everyday life\, and its wide variety of career possibilities. “Ag Day not only offers our students a fun\, hands-on learning experience\, but also gives them an opportunity to interact and learn from older students who are showcasing the relevancy and importance of agriculture as a field of study\,” expressed LVJUSD Superintendent Chris Van Schaack. \nLHS Agriculture students led third grade student groups through 30 booths of interactive lessons that included a breadth of experiences from how to properly raise and care for livestock to how to feed yourself and your family using a Dutch oven. Students intently watched worms wriggle in their hands as they learned the importance of composting\, used their creativity when designing their own cattle brands\, and made fresh salsa after learning how vegetables and herbs are grown. Although each station covered a different concept\, an overarching theme was recurrent: Agriculture is abundant in Livermore. \nOrganizing and hosting an event for over 1\,000 third grade students required thoughtful collaboration. “The success of this event would not have been possible without the commitment and dedication of more than 200 volunteers and Agriculture students. A special appreciation and thank you to Sheila Fagliano\, Livermore Sanitation’s Community Relations Manager\, for her leadership role in this event year after year\,” shared Lori Porter\, Livermore High agriculture teacher and FFA livestock judging coach. Fagliano and the LHS Agriculture Department\, worked in partnership to secure the support and participation of the following community partners for this year’s event: \n\nAlameda County Supervisor David Haubert\nAlameda County Farm Bureau\nLivermore Rodeo\nLivermore Rotary\nContra Costa Alameda County Cattlemens\nJunior Livestock Auction Boosters\nZone 7 Water\nCrane Ridge 4-H\nAlameda County Cattlewomen\nContra Costa County\nMosquitos.org\nFertile Groundworks\nFagundes Horseshoeing\nAlameda County Resource Conservation District\nDairy Council of California\nValley Vista 4-H\nJunction Avenue Ag Class\nThe Patterson Family\nThe Bach Family\nThe Maggy Family\nThe Fassett Family\nThe Bowles Family\nThe Whatley Family\nRyan Heal\nDianne Russell and the Del Valle Culinary Program\nBrenda Morris\nDenise Mueller\n\n“What I’m most proud of is that almost all of the community volunteers are LHS Ag Department alumni\, many of whom are still very involved in the agricultural and farming lifestyle. They believe in teaching the next generation how to best take care of our land and water\, and to truly understand where our food comes from. All of this helps the students really appreciate our resources\,” remarked Fagliano. \nBy emphasizing the relationship between people\, animals\, and the land\, Ag Day continues to provide a visible connection for students who may not have fully appreciated the agricultural knowledge and skills required for their sustenance\, shelter\, and daily comforts. Through hands-on activities\, each student caught a glimpse into LHS’s unique program and its commitment to advancing agricultural education for future generations. \n

SUMMARY:Newsom Takes Several Executive Actions in Response to Winter Storm Impacts
DESCRIPTION:Newsom Takes Several Executive Actions in Response to Winter Storm Impacts\nOn Tuesday\, Governor Gavin Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency to exist in Alameda\, Marin\, Modoc and Shasta counties resulting from a series of severe winter storms which have resulted in “significant storm-related impacts\, including flooding\, toppled trees\, downed power lines and power outages\, damage to commercial and residential structures\, roads\, and other critical infrastructure.” \nStates of emergency had previously been proclaimed for 43 other counties (the only counties not presently under a state of emergency are Colusa\, Contra Costa\, Lassen\, Riverside\, San Diego\, Siskiyou\, Solano\, Sutter\, Tehama\, Ventura and Yolo counties). The proclamations activate the California National Guard and tap “All agencies of the state government” to assist in disaster response and relief efforts in the counties designated as suffering a state of emergency. \nGovernor Newsom on Tuesday also issued a request to President Joe Biden for “a Presidential Major Disaster Declaration to bolster the emergency response and recovery in the counties of Calaveras\, Kern\, Los Angeles\, Mariposa\, Monterey\, San Benito\, Santa Cruz\, Tulare\, and Tuolumne\,” according to a press release. Newsom’s letter also requests that “U.S. Small Business Administration disaster loans and funds from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Emergency Loan Program” be made available within impacted counties. \nAs of press time\, President Biden had yet to act on the Presidential Major Disaster Declaration request. While an Emergency Declaration was issued on March 10\, assistance granted under an Emergency Declaration is narrower than that provided under a Major Disaster Declaration. \nFinally\, Governor Newsom on Friday issued an executive order to support Tulare Lake Basin flood response. The order suspends statutes relating to lake and streambed alteration and the California Environmental Quality Act within the Tulare Lake Basin “to expedite preparation and recovery efforts” and boosts emergency-response staffing\, according to a press release. \n____________________________________________________________________________________________ \nThe article linked below contains details on the $42 million in USDA grant funding that was provided to United Ways of California and other non-governmental organizations through the Farm Workers Relief Grant Program. \nThis program was funded leveraging COVID-19 funds so there are some eligibility considerations. \nhttps://www.unitedwaysca.org/press-releases/610-usda-farmerworker-grant \nThe funding is being disbursed through the following United Way locations: \n\n\n\n\n\nUnited Way California Capital Region\n\n\n\n\nUnited Way of Kern County\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnited Way of Nevada County\n\n\n\n\nUnited Way of Santa Cruz County\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnited Way of San Joaquin County\n\n\n\n\nUnited Way Monterey County\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnited Way of Stanislaus County\n\n\n\n\nUnited Way of San Luis Obispo County\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnited Way of Merced County\n\n\n\n\nNorthern Santa Barbara County United Way\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnited Way Fresno and Madera Counties\n\n\n\n\nUnited Way of Ventura County\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUnited Way of Tulare County\n\n\n\n\nInland Empire United Way

SUMMARY:Watershed cleanups start at your doors!
DESCRIPTION:Volunteers Wanted!\nThe Earth Day clean-up is an annual event hosted by the Alameda County Flood Control & Water Conservation District’s Clean Water Program\, to help keep our waterways free of harmful trash by cleaning up in your neighborhoods and local natural areas. \nWatershed cleanups start at your doors! Trash travels through storm drains into creeks\, and rivers to become harmful pollution. \nCleanups can be on Earth Day\, April 22nd\, or any day throughout the month of April and will be self-guided and close to home. Local streets\, sidewalks\, parks\, and other natural areas are good choices. Trash within our neighborhoods becomes the trash polluting the coast once they are washed into the storm drains and waterways. \nRegister today to have your efforts counted! \nhttps://accleanwater_earthday2022.eventbrite.com

SUMMARY:Negotiation Skills for Womxn-led Farms: Exploring the intersections of land tenure\, conservation\, and farm viability on urban farms
