Document Description
The proposed project would result in structural and site improvements to support operation of the proposed Community Harvest Program at the Watsonville Slough Farm that is owned and managed by the Land Trust of Santa Cruz County (Land Trust). The Program calls for opening up areas on the Farm to local families and other visitors so they can harvest fruits and vegetables for their own consumption while learning about healthy food and sustainable agricultural practices. A reconstructed barn, new restrooms, picnic areas, parking improvements, trails and a number of other minor improvements are proposed to support the Program. In addition, the Project includes development of four agricultural worker residential units.
