Who We Are
The Appalachian Resource Conservation & Development Council is 501(c) (3) non-profit organization dedicated to the 10 counties of northeast Tennessee, while also supporting statewide conservation. RC&D stands for Resource Conservation & Development. The RC&D Program for the United States was established in the Agriculture Act of 1962 with the administration responsibility placed within the Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). RC&D Councils were formed out of this basically acting as a non-profit arm of NRCS.
What We Do
Our mission is to conserve natural resources and improve rural economies through community leadership and enhanced educational opportunities. We connect farmers, gardeners, food entrepreneurs – and those who want to be – with resources, education, and networks, to foster healthy, thriving and resilient communities for all.
