Tillamook teams with New Season Market to cut carbon and protect Oregon ecosystems
This marks the first time TCCA has partnered with a retail customer on an environmental project.
As part of a commitment to enduring ecosystems, Tillamook County Creamery Association (TCCA) is partnering with fellow Oregon-based brand and Certified B Corporation, New Season Market (NSM), on a regenerative agriculture project to cut carbon and protect on-farm ecosystems in Tillamook County.
To kick things off, both NSM and TCCA will each provide $15,000 to plant approximately five acres of native, woody vegetation on regional dairy farms within the TCCA cooperative. These plantings, including diverse species of native trees and shrubs, will ultimately sequester carbon, protect and improve water quality, and provide wildlife habitat. Additionally, this project has been submitted for a USDA Conservation Innovation Grant. If awarded, it would fund additional acres of land for restoration.
