Why Green Kern County?
Natural resources and natural beauty are an inherent part of the County of Kern. However, with this natural beauty comes its own challenges. Mountain ranges that trap polluted air in the valleys in which the majority of our residents inhabit, and therefore breathe. Open spaces that attracted growth in the form of sprawling development that requires people to drive for most of their daily activities. Affordable land that has been a boon to industry yet contributor to poor air quality and threat to water quality as well as the health of the region’s residents. These challenges are increasingly common throughout many areas of the United States, but that does not mean they should be ignored. The Kern Green program provides education and resources for businesses and residents to reduce their environmental impact and improve quality of life in the region.
