What is RC&D?

RC&D is short for Resource Conservation and Development.

RC&D is a unique program that helps people protect and develop their economic, natural and social resources in ways that improve their area’s economy, environment and quality of life.

RC&D provides a away for people to plan and implement projects that will make their communities a better place to live.

RC&D bring together people, needs, concerns, opportunities, and solutions.

RC&D is as much a way of doing things-a process-as it is a program.

RC&D provides “facilitated self help” for conservation and economic development in communities.

RC&D provides a framework for dealing with issues through citizens participation.

RC&D is action-directed. It accomplishes what is planned and agreed to by communities, public and private organizations, and programs-all working together.

RC&D is a unique combination of private enterprise
and federal assistance that encourages the blending of natural resources use with local economic and social values.
