Missouri Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) FAQs

Yes! ANYONE...

• who believes that one person can make a difference.
• who wants to be involved in making things happen in their community, county, region or state.
• who wants to see natural resources used without adversely affecting the environment.
• who wants to improve the quality of life in their community.

Your local RC&D offers many opportunities for involvement and making things happen. It doesn't matter if you live in the city or the country; or if you are a business owner or a housewife; there's always a place for you in RC&D. They are constantly seeking private citizens, businesses, and organizations to become members of committees or to participate in planning projects, identifying priorities, or just helping with one activity.

If you are presently involved in a community project, seek out the RC&D Council in your project area. They may be able to provide you with technical assistance or funding, or can put you in touch with private and public organizations that can help you reach your goals. Consider working through your local RC&D Council when starting new projects in your community or region.

For more information about RC&Ds, or if you would like to get involved, contact the RC&D council in your area, or contact the USDA-NRCS State Office in Columbia, Missouri, at phone number (573) 876-0912.
