About the Workshops

Cannabis thrived without regulation for decades. The time has now come for it to thrive with regulation. We need to help bring farmers into compliance. To assist with this task, the Environmental Protection Information Center and the Mad River Alliance are partnering with Humboldt Green, California Growers Association and the Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District to host a series of six workshops across the county with presentations by the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board, Department of Fish and Wildlife, and experts on state and county laws.

The Cannabis Farmer’s Workshop SeriesCalifornia is ushering a new paradigm for legal, commercial cannabis cultivation. As a result of unregulated cannabis activities, our forests, watersheds and communities have suffered from overexploitation. Recently developed state laws, regional programs and local ordinances now govern how and where cannabis can be grown. These new laws are an opportunity to bring unregulated activities into compliance, to improve environmental conditions, to bring tax dollars into our communities, and to transform an underground economy into a contributing sector of the local and state economies.

Clear rules and legal structures are in place-now it is time for farmers and land managers to gain the knowledge necessary to make the transition to become legal businesses that protect vital natural resources.

This is where Mad River Alliance and the Environmental Information and Protection Information Center (EPIC) step in–to help community members navigate the complex regulatory process for commercial cultivation of medical cannabis. We are collaborating with Humboldt Green, California Growers Association, and Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District to bring Northern California a series of five Cannabis Farmers Compliance Workshops designed to provide the necessary resources for regional farmers to take steps to come into compliance with state, regional and local laws.
