We are excited to announce that CLSI has received 2 large block grants to fund Healthy Soil Program projects ($2,060,000 in project funds) and SWEEP (State Water Efficiency and Enhancement Program, $2,800,000 in project funds) projects in Sonoma, Mendocino, Napa, San Joaquin, Yolo, Solano, Contra Costa and Sacramento counties. Through the Block Grant CLSI will work directly with growers rather than just assisting with applications to CDFA.
