Organizational Background
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 a budget of $3.7MM and is almost exclusively grant and contract-funded. The RCD is governed by a board of directors that are local landowners in the District. We offer a friendly and flexible work environment where our team of 14 dedicated professionals work together to benefit our community and its natural resources. Our mission is carried out through four programs: LandSmart® Planning, Water Resources, On-the-Ground, and Education. For more information visit our website atwww.sonomarcd.org
