Mission :
The mission of the Contra Costa Resource Conservation District (RCD) is to provide an organized means for land managers and local community members to play a prominent role in carrying out voluntary, cooperative conservation programs that promote the sustainable and productive use of natural resources.

The RCD is a non-regulatory agency – we work with individuals, growers, ranchers, public agencies, non-profit organizations and corporations to accomplish our goals. Our federal partner, the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), provides technical support for our programs.

History:
The Contra Costa Resource Conservation District (CCRCD) was formed in 1941. Our service area is consistent with the political boundaries of Contra Costa County and covers 516,191 acres. CCRCD is one of California ’s 103 Resource Conservation Districts. For more information about California ’s RCDs, visit the California Association of Resource Conservation Districts.

Governance:
The Contra Costa RCD is governed by a voluntary Board of Directors appointed by the County Board of Supervisors and regulated under Division 9 of the California Public Resources Code. The Contra Costa RCD Board of Directors' monthly meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month, 3 PM at the District Office ( 5552 Clayton Road, Concord ). Please call to confirm meeting time.
