Just noticed your reference to RCD. In Michigan, RCD is one of the
acronyms used for Resource Conservation and Development, which is a
program of the NRCS, Natural Resources Conservation Service, part of
USDA. The other is RC & D. Are we talking about the same thing? Directly from their website: "Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) program objectives focus on improvement of quality of life achieved through natural resources conservation and community development. The goals of the program include developing sustainable communities, encouraging prudent development, and managing and conserving natural resources. RC&D areas are locally sponsored areas designated by the Secretary of Agriculture for RC&D technical and financial assistance program funds. Each RC&D area has a community-based program established and governed by local leaders. Each area is sponsored by the counties and Conservation Districts within its boundaries. Other organizations and units of government may also be co-sponsors. Activities in each area are governed by a RC&D Council composed of a representative from each sponsor. These councils establish their own governing policies and develop programs to fit local needs. A NRCS employee is designated as the RC&D Coordinator responsible for managing the activities of the RC&D program. " I'm curious to know. Thanks.
