The U.P. RC&D Council is first and foremost a partnership between local leaders and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (
NRCS). The NRCS is a Federal Agency that provides soil science information, conservation technical resources, and cost-share funds to private landowners as authorized by the Farm Bill. NRCS and local Conservation Districts combine with County and other local government units, educational institutions, other State and Federal agencies, and others to form the
National Conservation Partnership, which was formalized in 1993.
Michigan NRCS currently supports seven
RC&D areas, with an additional area pending. As part of this partnership, NRCS provides a full-time
Coordinator, a part-time
Administrative Assistant, and office space to the U.P. RC&D Council.
