The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is holding a cannabis technical assistance workshop on April 28 in Weaverville.

This pop-up technical workshop is ideal for new and legacy farmers as well as cannabis consultants. CDFW’s cannabis permitting, engineering and grant staff will be available to discuss project specific technical questions, notification package assistance, compliance questions and cannabis grant program opportunities.

“When someone comes in the door with their project at our workshop, our scientific staff, engineers and geologists will be there to help them advance their project toward completion,” said Jeremy Valverde, CDFW’s Cannabis Program Director. “We expect that everyone who comes in the door to talk to us will benefit from these one-on-one meetings, and we will follow-up if needed to answer additional questions.”

Cultivators and consultants from neighboring counties are welcomed. Meetings are by appointment only and will be reserved on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once someone is scheduled for a meeting, a confirmation email will be sent with instructions on what to bring to the appointment.

When: Thursday, April 28 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Where: Trinity County Public Utilities District in the Community Room - 26 Ponderosa Lane, Weaverville
