RIVERS

The sponsors of Two Rivers RC&D are the county governments and the Soil and Water Conservation Districts of the five county area. In 1971, they requested assistance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to improve the economy with orderly development and conservation of resources through the Resource Conservation and Development Program (RC&D). In 1972, the USDA approved this request and the Two Rivers Resource Conservation and Development Area was established. In 1973, Two Rivers RC&D became a not-for-profit corporation in Illinois and a 501(c)3 charitable organization as recognized by the IRS. In 2011, all federal financial support was terminated and the Two Rivers RC&D operates as a self-sustaining non-profit organization.
