Services
We aim to provide services and the necessary resources to help rural communities grow, establish sustainable practices, and make a positive difference in their communities and beyond.
Technical Assistance Services
The Rural Resilience project (RRP) received funding through the Qualified Cultivator Funding Opportunity by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Cannabis Restoration Grant Program (CRGP).
The initiative funded through CRGP aims to support eligible cannabis cultivators by providing technical assistance to assist Mendocino County cultivators transition from provisional to annual licenses and implement sustainable cultivation practices.
Are You a Cultivator in Mendocino County?
If you are a cultivator in Mendocino County, you must possess at least an active (outdoor or mixed light tier 1) provisional or annual license issued by both the Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) and the Mendocino Cannabis Department to qualify for support under this program.
Priority will be given to:
• Cultivators with ownership or financial interest in no more than 10,000 square feet of outdoor or mixed light tier 1 canopy.
• Operators verified through the Local Equity Entrepreneur Program (LEEP).
Other considerations:
Cultivators with ownership or financial interest in canopy space between 10,000 and 20,000 square feet may still qualify under this program but will not receive priority ranking. Canopy area from nursery licenses is not included in the cultivation canopy threshold.
