The Board of Directors has maintained a strong commitment to support the efforts of our many partners, who recognize that locally-led activities can yield multiple benefits. Programmatic plans and initial implementation strategies are developed with Board approval. Under the Board’s direction, District Manager Patrick Frost guides activities that provide assistance to landowners throughout Trinity County. An important element of delivering assistance is securing adequate funding. The Board and staff have worked diligently at many levels to sustain funding to continue to meet the District’s mission.

 


RCD Establishes Conservation Fund

The Trinity County Resource Conservation District Fund was established in 2007 in association with the Trinity Trust with the Humboldt Area Foundation. The purpose of this fund is to support the mission and ongoing work of the Trinity County Resource Conservation District. This fund can help the District provide programs and achieve the goal of community guided conservation. This fund provides residents with a meaningful way to invest in local conservation of our natural resources. Tax deductible donations to this fund can help the District extend its programs and increase effectiveness.

Donors can create an enduring legacy that perpetuates a commitment to conservation by supporting the RCD Fund through a gift in ones will. Please give thought to this new opportunity for contributions to community-based conservation programs through the District’s Conservation Fund.
