Partners and Funding

The Livestock and Land Program relies on a diverse partnership with livestock associations, landowners, agencies, non-profits, local governments and private consultants. They all are integral parts of being able to implement cost-share demonstration site projects, provide education and outreach, and offer free site visits. The primary funding agency is the State Water Resources Control Board. Project partners include the Natural Resources Conservation Service, University of California Cooperative Extension, San Benito County Resource Conservation District, Loma Prieta Resource Conservation District, Soquel Creek Water District, Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency, San Benito County Water District, San Lorenzo Water District, Santa Clara Valley Water District, the Valley Women’s Club, the Santa Cruz County Horsemen’s Association and professionals from local government, private industry, and non-profits organizations who provide technical guidance as part of our Technical Advisory Committee and Strategic Advisory Committee.
