The Giugnis received $60,000 for their Bassi Vineyard property to create pollinator meadows, install wildlife habitat, and plant hedgerows that support carbon sequestration, improve soil health, and save water.

At Dare 2 Dream Farms, the Raffs applied for $15,000 to install native plants throughout their whole 40 acres, between the chicken coops and fresh produce.

Leslie Person Ryan of Sweet Wheel Farm in Summerland is receiving CEC’s help in her capital campaign to plant hedgerows and pull in more pollinators.
