The District is a non-regulatory agency receiving funding through the California Association of Resource Conservation Districts form the Resource Legacy Fund to promote and develop the Growing Responsible And Socially Sustainable Cannabis (GRASS-C) program. GRASS-C is a self-assessment program which is developing into a sustainable agriculture certification program. The Companion Guide is a supporting document that provides useful links to permitting questions and links to resources for best management practices for all of the categories assessed in GRASS-C.
