About Us
What is RC&D?
RC&D is local people working together to solve local problems and to help their local communities grow and prosper.
Who are we?
We are non-profit organizations that are made up of volunteers who identify the unmet needs in their communities and create solutions.
The Alabama Association of RC&D Councils includes nine Councils that depend on the leadership, abilities and unique skills of the individuals within the communities they serve. The high level of volunteer commitment and credibility has made RC&D one of the most successful delivery systems in Alabama. RC&D Councils are dedicated to conserving, enhancing, and developing Alabama to make our state a better place to live, work, and play.
Vision
The Alabama Association of RC&D Councils will play an integral role in conserving, enhancing and developing Alabama to make the state a better place to live, work, and play for all.

To promote, protect and develop the natural and human resources to secure and enhance the social and economic benefits for people across the state of Alabama.
Purpose
The purpose of the RC&D program is to accelerate the conservation, development and utilization of natural and human resources; foster economic and community growth and development; and to enhance the environment and standard of living of all Alabama citizens.
