The RCRCD is an independent special district enabled by Division 9 of the California Public Resources Code. As defined in Division 9, Resource Conservation Districts are given broad abilities to protect natural resources from preventable waste and destruction.

The scope of work at the Riverside-Corona Resource Conservation District reflects local issues.

The major RCRCD programs address, but are not limited to:

•       Conservation of irrigation water

•       Prevention of soil erosion and storm water pollution

•       Habitat conservation: preservation, restoration, and management

•       Facilitating sustainable agriculture and a local farm to fork food system.
