In 2022, CCCD became one of Wyoming's first recipients of the National Association of Conservation District's (NACD) Urban Agriculture Conservation (UAC) Initiative Grant. With this funding, CCCD coordinated with the Y.E.S. House to expand upon a preexisting garden space for future urban agriculture related workshops for youth in the organization's care.
      Workshops are planned to encompass the many facets of successful urban agriculture, including tree planting, native bird population support, and composting. In October of 2022, Nate Foss from Rayne Gardens assisted District staff in conducting an urban tree planting workshop with youth at the organization. More workshops are planned in the following months...stay tuned for updates!
