Livermore, United States
Alameda County Resource Conservation District (ACRCD) was founded in 1972 with a mission to conserve natural resources through partnership, leadership, education, and outreach. It was established through the merger of two Soil Conservation Districts - Western and Eastern Alameda County Soil Conservation Districts. ACRCD operates as an independent, non-regulatory special district in California, providing resource conservation services and serving as a local hub for connecting people with the necessary technical, financial, and educational assistance for conservation and management of resources.
The most recent investment in ACRCD amounted to $56.10K in the form of a grant, which was received on February 5, 2023. The California Department of Food and Agriculture acted as the investor in this funding round.
ACRCD, in collaboration with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Livermore office, forms the Conservation Partnership, focused on preserving and enhancing natural resources and facilitating agricultural improvements throughout Alameda County. Their work includes species management, habitat restoration, rangeland ecology, climate change mitigation research, and urban agriculture support, accompanied by educational workshops, field tours, and stewardship opportunities.
The organization's efforts are bolstered by extensive partnerships with local, state, and federal agencies, as well as diverse entities ranging from corporations to non-profits and individuals. Overall, ACRCD remains dedicated to its core mission of environmental conservation and sustainable agricultural advancement.
