People Helping People! Resource Conservation and Development better known as RC&D is a unique program.  It helps people care for and protect their natural resources in a way that will improve the area’s economy, environment, and living standards.

RC&D gets people involved to identify and solve human, economic, and environmental problems in their communities.  RC&D addresses local
problems by obtaining assistance from the private sector, corporations, foundations, and all levels of government. 

RC&D councils are comprised of local citizens.  They represent farmers, businesses, and units of government to coordinate economic development projects primarily in rural areas.
