Testimonials

We’ve been able to provide hundreds of regionally appropriate native milkweed plants to people who are responsibly managing their plantings in pesticide-free areas. We can see our success not just in the local increase in pollinator activity and the number of plants given away, but in the passion for pollinators that our communities have shown in such a short time after receiving and caring for their free plants. ~Erin Arnsteen: Co-Founder, Western Monarch Society of Napa County

"Working with Miguel Garcia and Napa RCD carbon farming team has challenged me to rethink what I believe to be a healthy soil. I scrutinize each tillage pass and evaluate the necessity of the operation by weighing the benefit against the potential impact. All inputs are evaluated on their ability to improve soil health and biodiversity in the vineyard and surrounding areas." ~ Roy Oneto, Foley Family Wines

"I support Napa RCD because they play a vital role in improving our community and our environment. They bring money into our community from grants and foundations to do environmental projects that have real and lasting benefits. Their staff are really talented and know how to work with people to get things done." Jim Lincoln, Board Member

"We've done several projects on our property with Napa RCD staff to support biodiversity. Now, we are building a forest health and wildfire resilience plan. They always provide intelligence, experience, and integrity." ~ Amy Garden, Local Resident
