What is RC&D? The Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Council is a partnership between the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and rural communities. It was created to assist local people in planning and carrying out activities that conserve natural resources, support economic development, enhance the environment, and improve the standard of living for all citizens. The partnership is made up of locally organized, led and sponsored groups called RC&D Councils which receive technical and financial support from the USDA. Each Council identifies problems, develops strategies and implements projects to benefit the community. A broad range of public and private entities collaborate to assist RC&D Councils in achieving goals and objectives. All programs and assistance of the RC & D Council are available without regard to race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation, and marital or family status.
