About Us

 

People depend on soil, water, air, plants, and animals to survive. These natural resources provide our communities with food, shelter, clothing, and recreation. The Upper Salinas-Las Tablas Resource Conservation District (US-LT RCD) provides technical assistance, education and resources to help agricultural, rural and urban communities conserve, protect and restore these natural elements while supporting robust land productivity.

 

Serving North San Luis Obispo County including portions of Monterey and Kern Counties since 1951, the US-LT RCD is a non-regulatory, not-for-profit organization. The RCD has established an assortment of services and programs to serve the need of every kind of land manager in our region. Farmers, ranchers, and residents rely upon the RCD for entire project navigation – from planning to design, permitting to installation – we provide the continuum of assistance to complete it.
