California Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Program

The RC&D Program was established in 1962, by Congress for the explicit purpose of providing local communities with resources that can be used for local community development and resource conservation and utilization efforts. This unique program is locally led by a diverse group of volunteers who help initiate, plan and implement projects to make communities a better place to live. California currently has twelve RC&D Areas.
