Eight grants have been awarded to Mendocino and Lake County farms for fire readiness and resilience, as part of a fiscally sponsored project of North Coast Opportunities. Funding from Redwood Credit Union’s Community Fund and California Fire Foundation will allow those who received the fire safe grants to purchase critical equipment and infrastructure supplies. Averaging under $5,000 each, the grants will be used to purchase water tanks, generators, solar chargers, and other necessary equipment. For more information go to goodfarmfunds.org.
