SIERRA RESOURCE CONSERVATION DISTRICT

Resource Conservation Districts were created to develop and further ongoing programs designed to conserve natural resources. The Sierra RCD is an autonomous self-governing body. There is no taxing authority, by agreement, at the time of establishment. It is truly a "grass-roots" organization dedicated to serving both the private and public interest... The NRCD was formed in October 1956 and later had a number of sections added to the original area before consolidation with Sierra RCD. The resultant Resource Conservation District retained the Sierra RCD name, with a new Board of Directors and Officers... The Sierra Resource Conservation District (SRCD) encompasses approximately 3,063 square miles (1,960,248 acres) . The area is over 50% of the total acreage of Fresno County (3,817,025 acres).
