RI Resource Conservation & Development Area Council

Description

The purpose of the RC&D program is to encourage and improve the capability of volunteer, locally elected, and civic leaders in designated RC&D areas to plan and carry out projects for resource conservation and community development.

Projects relate to the following four areas:

1. Land Conservation
2. Community Development
3. Land Management
4. Water Management

The RC&D program helps people care for natural resources and improve the quality of life in their communities. The RC&D Area Council (volunteers representing public and private sector sponsors and other local organizations) undertake community driven actions that are strategically focused on regional resource conservation and economic viability. RC&D priorities are set by area residents to meet their needs.
