Alameda County Resource Conservation District jobs and careers

About Alameda County Resource Conservation District

Founded in 1972, the Alameda County RCD formed though the merger of two Soil Conservation Districts (Western and Eastern Alameda County Soil Conservation Districts). The mission of the ACRCD is to provide leadership in the County and region about natural resources conservation, wildlife, and agricultural enhancement through partnerships, education, outreach, resource services, technical assistance, and funding. Resource Conservation Districts (RCDs) are independent, non-regulatory, special districts of California that provide resource conservation services and are local hubs for connecting people with technical, financial and educational assistance they need to conserve and manage those resources. Together with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Livermore office, we work as the Conservation Partnership, continuing to enhance the preservation & conservation of natural resources and facilitating agricultural improvements throughout Alameda County. Our work includes species management and habitat restoration, rangeland ecology and resilience strategies, climate change mitigation research, urban agriculture technical assistance and financial support, workshops, field tours, and conservation and stewardship educational opportunities. We collaborate with many partners, including local, state, and federal agencies, organizations, corporations, non-profits, and local individuals.
