What is RC&D?
The High Country Resource Conservation and Development Area, Inc. (HCRC&D) was created in 1979 to assist our region by providing specialized technical assistance and support to projects that support and enhance sustainable economies, environments, and communities.
HCRCD was originally created by the Secretary of Agriculture in August of 1979 and funded by the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). After budget cuts in 2011, the HCRC&D separated and is now completely self-financed having build strong partnerships and valuable technical assistance to regional projects.
The HCRC&D Council is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization, and serves over 185,000 people in Bonneville, Butte, Clark, Custer, Fremont, Jefferson, Lemhi, Madison, Teton counties and a portion of Teton County, Wyoming.
Our Mission is to help people and organizations obtain the resources and expertise needed to address issues and implement projects that improve the quality of life for people who live, work, and play in Southeast Idaho and the West Slope of the Tetons. We specialize in helping local governments, agencies, and other organizations work across jurisdictional boundaries to address regional issues.
Our Goal is to provide the following services to individuals, local governments, organizations, agencies, and others within our service area to achieve our mission:
