The mission of the Contra Costa Resource Conservation District is to facilitate conservation and stewardship of the natural resources in Contra Costa County.

New Irrigation Services from the Contra Costa Resource Conservation District Will Bring Water Efficiency and Cost Savings to Farms and Farmers

Through a grant from the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), the Contra Costa Resource Conservation District (CCRCD) is proud to announce a new Irrigation and Water Conservation Services program. Across the state, many other local Resource Conservation Districts offer irrigation and water conservation advisory services. For many small farmers, these services have provided numerous benefits, such as trainings on repairs and irrigation scheduling, reduced water and energy costs, and cost-saving improvements to their irrigation efficiency. CCRCD is proud to announce that these free services will be available to our land stewards in Contra Costa County. Click below to view entire release.

This past year (2021-2022) was another year of adaptation, but also growth, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Contra Costa Resource Conservation District (CCRCD) staff diligently grew our programming, which led to bringing on more staff. Throughout the pandemic, CCRCD staff showed resilience and adapted to change.

Hiring new staff members has increased our capacity to serve the needs of our communities and partners. Staff members have added new skills to their skill sets and have been wearing multiple hats.
