Referral History:

Contra Costa Resource Conservation District (RCD) director recruitment is conducted by the County pursuant to a 1998 RCD resolution ordering that all future directors shall be appointed by the County Board of Supervisors in lieu of election (Public Resources Code Section 9314).

The mission of the RCD is to carry out natural resources conservation projects through voluntary and cooperative efforts.

The USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service provides technical support for the RCD's programs.
