Happy New Year from VCRCD! At the end of every year, we release a “Year in Review” to showcase our impact, accomplishments, future goals, and gratitude for our partners and community. Last week, we launched our 2025 Year in Review.
In 2025 we grew our programs, welcomed 4 new hires, bid a bittersweet farewell to coworkers embarking on their next journeys, and expanded our fundraising efforts through the creation of our Development Team. We continued to serve our core program areas— Water Resources, Soil Health, Habitat Restoration, Fire Ecology, Education, and Wildfire Preparedness. Our Wildlife & Restoration Team monitored over 10 acres of land and put over 1,000 native plants and oaks in the ground. Additionally, our Agriculture Team managed 14 agricultural grant programs prioritizing water quality and conservation, greenhouse emissions, soil health, extreme weather relief, and organic transition. Our Fire Ecology Team implemented 53 acres of prescribed burning all while strengthening partnerships and expanding their efforts across the region to support more resilient communities and healthier fire-adapted landscapes.
We could not have done any of our work without the support and dedication of our staff, partners, volunteers, and community. From the bottom of our hearts here at the VCRCD, thank you for a wonderful year! To learn more about our 2025 impact, click here.
