What We Do
Helping people care for soil, water, and other resources
Our hands-on conservation work centers around providing financial and technical tools and assistance to help farmers, ranchers, and other public, private, and Tribal land managers steward agricultural and natural lands sustainably. At the heart of the Marin RCD’s promise is our voluntary approach to conservation: We assist landowners, land managers, lessees, and land stewards at their request, with the services that work for them.
Restoring streams and landscapes
We manage important and complex restoration projects from start to finish, with measurable benefits to water quality and endangered species recovery. Our projects are aimed at enhancing clean water, cultivating healthy soils, and maintaining abundant wildlife to increase climate resilience, contributing to community and sustaining the unique ecosystems of our region.
Bringing people and resources together to reach shared goals.
As an organization that embodies the connection between Marin’s agricultural and conservation communities, the Marin RCD is uniquely positioned to create and sustain long-term partnerships, incorporate different perspectives, and foster innovative management approaches to address our challenges. We lead through collaboration—bringing our technical expertise, economic resources, and a can-do spirit to drive shared solutions with government agencies, Tribal governments, community organizations, agricultural producers, and residents. We build, guide, and participate in shared initiatives, projects, and fundraising to tackle big issues, from watershed-scale planning to pioneering the first RCD-led climate-smart agriculture program in California. And we leverage our local strengths to bring state, federal, and private resources to support conservation in West Marin.
