Our Mission
Our mission is to provide education and resources that improve the health of our community, natural systems, and agricultural legacy in Stanislaus County.
About Us
Proudly serving the local community since 1996, the ESRCD offers programs and services focused on protecting the local lands, native plants, water, pollinators, and other natural resources that keep our community thriving. We partner with farmers, ranchers, landowners, Stanislaus County residents, and local organizations to restore habitats, promote conservation, support healthy land and water, and offer programs that build a stronger culture of conservation in Stanislaus County.
