Last week, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced that several conservation projects will be funded throughout California through the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP). The RCPP was created as part of the 2014 Farm Bill. Secretary Vilsack has identified California’s Bay Delta Watershed as one of eight critical conservation areas that will compete for one third of the total available funding.
