The Climate Resilient Landscaping Project aims to demonstrate the integration of resilience science into landscape management and design for a university campus. We define climate resilient landscape as a design, installation and maintenance process that sustains biodiversity, enhances ecological functions, and honors the indigenous cultures of our bio-region, all while meeting campus aesthetic needs, Grounds department capacity, and despite the multiple stressors anticipated for our climate constrained future.

This project allocated $10,000 to have CCAT raise live chickens on campus. This project's purpose is to allow students at Cal Poly Humboldt have the opportunity to learn about food waste, sustainable agriculture, appropriate technology and livestock care. CCAT will obtain food waste on campus and use it as food for the chickens, then use manure produced to create compost for further agricultural projects.
