The California Association of RCDs serves, connects, and champions the RCD network. We are pleased to publish this perspective from Nancy Wahl-Scheurich, <a href=\"https:\/\/carcd.org\/\">CARCD<\/a> Executive Director, and Rick Gomez, President of the CARCD Board of Directors.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">April 27th marked the 90<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> anniversary of the founding of the country\u2019s Soil Conservation Service, a permanent agency created by Congress in 1935 under the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Prompted by the Dust Bowl, the country\u2019s most devastating agricultural crisis, the bill that established the Service stated that &#8220;the wastage of soil and moisture resources on farm, grazing, and forest lands\u2026is a menace to the national welfare.&#8221;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why RCDs Matter \u2014 Especially in California <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most Americans don\u2019t know about this 90th anniversary of the Soil Conservation Service (which has since been renamed the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nrcs.usda.gov\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natural Resources Conservation Service<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or NRCS). But we ignore its mission at our peril since our very survival depends on healthy soil to grow food, drink clean water, and breathe clean air.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Critical to the Dust Bowl recovery, the rebuilding of topsoil, and the ecological practices that the NRCS funds to this day is a skilled workforce to provide science-based practical knowledge and technical assistance for farmers, ranchers, and other landowners. Soon after the Soil Conservation Service formed, a network of locally-governed Resource Conservation Districts (RCDs) &#8211; similar to fire, police, and water districts &#8211; sprung up in every state. In California alone, there are approximately 95 RCDs working directly with farmers, ranchers, and foresters on a voluntary basis to plan and implement practices that prevent soil erosion and protect and improve California\u2019s agricultural lands, forests, air, and water.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">90-Year Collaboration Threatened<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RCD staff have historically worked closely with their government partners, matching federal grant funding with willing farmers and sometimes even sharing office space. However, under the Trump administration and USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins, this 90-year collaboration is being severely tested. The administration is freezing grant payments and reimbursements to farmers and the organizations that support them, firing and furloughing NRCS staff, terminating NRCS office leases, and casting doubt on the government\u2019s commitment to land stewardship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As of early April, more than 50 RCDs in 49 counties have had substantial funding imperiled by federal freezes, totaling approximately $70 million and putting at least two dozen staff positions at risk. Several RCDs may have to shut down altogether. The money to pay the California Association of Resource Conservation Districts to assist RCDs in partnerships with California tribes is<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">no longer funded. Many grants that support RCD outreach and assistance to underserved producers are frozen or terminated.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19294\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19294\" style=\"width: 439px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-19294\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-23-at-9.04.52%E2%80%AFAM.png?resize=439%2C335&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"439\" height=\"335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-23-at-9.04.52%E2%80%AFAM.png?resize=300%2C229&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-23-at-9.04.52%E2%80%AFAM.png?resize=768%2C586&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calclimateag.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-23-at-9.04.52%E2%80%AFAM.png?w=794&amp;ssl=1 794w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 439px) 100vw, 439px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19294\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Map of California RCDs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s at Stake<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are just three of the dozens of stories we can share about the people and places being harmed by the actions of the Trump administration.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">En <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rcdmonterey.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monterey RCD<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has had $7.635 million in funding frozen and cannot complete its wildfire prevention work in the Elkhorn Slough, the Santa Lucia Mountains, and on Mt.
