Napa County Resource Conservation District

What They Do:

Help the community conserve, protect, and restore our environment in a landscape that supports agriculture, urban living, and wild spaces. Promote cooperation, sound science, and youth engagement as key ways to improve the resiliency of our watersheds for the benefit of future generations.

The Resource Conservation District (RCD) helps Napa County residents achieve environmental goals by providing education, one-on-one guidance, funding for projects, and access to real-world examples of conservation practices.

Water-wise vineyards and home gardens, rainwater capture, erosion-proof dirt roads, pollinator-friendly plantings, oak plantings, and improving stream habitat for wildlife are just some of the projects that we help people complete.

RCD also conducts in-depth monitoring to understand our watersheds’ health. We provide in-class and outdoor education that connects youth with opportunities to make a difference for our environment and grow their understanding of Napa County ecology.

Testimonial:

Thanks to the RCD, I've developed a passion for nature and helping the environment, and confidence in myself. Helping RCD mulch oak trees and teach kids about water pollution are experiences I won't forget.
