Identify cost share and technical assistance programs that provide benefits to ranchers and describe the scope of their services and funding levels. CAL FIRE, the Department of Fish and Wildlife, University of California and NRCS all offer financial and technical assistance programs that can offset ranching operational costs and help implement practices that reduce potential impacts of ranching or increase environmental and ecological services. Local agencies such as land trusts and agricultural open space districts also help maintain ranching land uses, often through purchase of conservation easements. Documenting the services and programs available to ranchers and their geographical scope can provide insights into additional programmatic needs.
