The East Stanislaus RCD provides local resource conservation for more than 984 square miles east of the San Joaquin River.

“The ESRCD supports Stanislaus County residents and farmers by providing education and resources to improve the overall health of our communities, our natural systems and agricultural legacy.” 

We work with farmers, ranchers and landowners, providing technical and financial assistance for conservation practices.

We strive to engage and educate our community about preserving our natural resources!

Our watershed is very important. The RCD works to keep our water clean for all who use it.

The ESRCD helps to protect local wildlife and create environments where they can thrive!

Check out this video series from Western SARE that highlights some of the common conservation practices that farmers and ranchers use to improve profitability, quality of life and environmental stewardship. Learn more at https://www.sare.org/resources/what-i…. “A Whole-Farm Approach to Sustainability” provides a short, animated outline of basic principles that can be used to introduce or complement more detailed training materials.

Board meetings are held the fourth Thursday of every month at 1:00 pm in the Harvest Hall Room G at the Stanislaus County Ag Center.
