last updated: May 2020

A non-regulatory special district to the State of California, Solano Resource Conservation District (RCD) was originally formed in 1944 to provide flood protection in the Ulatis watershed. Today we work closely with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and wide variety of other partners throughout the County on a watershed scale. In 2000 we changed our name to reflect this broader mission.

Goals

Restore Solano County watersheds and natural resources to health
Protect natural resources through vibrant partnerships, strategic restoration, and effective education programs.
Educate children and adults about watershed science and effective stewardship
Enhance our watersheds and their habitats to better serve all beneficial purposes

We work with diverse group of willing stakeholders to develop ground-up solutions to local resource issues. We partner with private citizens, local, regional state and federal government agencies, research institutions, non-profits and private sector organizations to design and implement large and small ecosystem restoration programs, habitat enhancement projects, and watershed-based environmental education for kids and adults. We offer County residents conservation planning and watershed coordination services to help people manage their natural resources as individuals and in groups

The RCD is guided by a volunteer Board of Directors appointed by the County Board of Supervisors. District programming is implemented by staff who provide specialized expertise, education and experience to help develop durable solutions to conservation challenges

We provide direct assistance to Solano County farmers and landowners who work with us voluntarily to protect their soil, water, and natural habitats.We also partner with agricultural and natural resource protection organizations and agencies throughout the County and region to implement watershed programs with local and regional benefits.
