I would like to voice my support for the actions improve the County's land conservation programs in RALU Objective 3. The natural landscapes in the Rural Area play a vital role in sequestering carbon dioxide, moderating temperatures, slowing and absorbing unprecedented rainfalls, protecting water quality and preserving biodiversity. Land conservation is a wise investment and a sound tool for mitigating the impacts of climate change. We can not forget that we all depend on the ecological services provided by natural landscapes in the rural area. Reactivating the ACE program is an important step toward meeting the County's climate action and equity goals. The ACE program can protect farmland and promote best management practices to keep our ecosystems healthy.
