The Sonoma RCD (RCD) is a non-regulatory, local government entity empowered to manage soil, water, fish, and wildlife resources for conservation. In existence since the 1940s, RCDs are local grassroots conservation delivery systems that identify local conservation problems and guide solutions on a voluntary basis. The RCD covers 85% of Sonoma County, and includes portions of the Russian River, Petaluma River, Sonoma Creek, Stemple Creek, and Gualala River Watersheds.
The RCD has an annual budget of $4.4MM and is almost exclusively funded by a diverse grants and contracts portfolio. Our mission is carried out by a governing board of seven directors (Board) and an interdisciplinary team of 20 professionals through four programs: LandSmart® Planning, Water Resources, On-the-Ground, and Education.
