COVID-19: We are monitoring the Coronavirus pandemic very closely, while following updates and guidance from the World Health Organization, plus the order from Contra Costa County Health Services to Shelter in Place during this difficult time. Every precaution is being taken to ensure the health and safety of Contra Costa Resource Conservation District community, supporters, and staff. This directive has led us to cancel or postpone many of our upcoming events, and we will continue to observe the advice and orders from the State and County to gauge which events this will affect.
