Limestone Valley Resource Conservation and Development (RC&D) Council is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. The organization was formerly federally funded (along with all RC&D Councils) under the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) of the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), yet due to recent budget cuts is now a stand-alone non-profit group.
Mission
to enhance the communities within our eleven county area by promoting conservation, water quality improvement, natural resource education and sustainable agriculture.
Limestone Valley RC&D has a long-standing Clean Water Act Section 319 grant management program that is known to be one of the best in the State of Georgia. With several current Clean Water Act Section 319 nonpoint source pollution reduction grants through Georgia Environmental Protection Division, Limestone Valley is always working on building effective partnerships, conducting extensive water quality sampling and occasional fish and macroinvertebrate sampling, putting water quality improvement projects “on-the-ground”, and educating the public on watershed science and the importance of water quality. Volunteer outreach events associated with these watershed improvement projects include stream clean-ups, tree planting events, training Adopt-A-Stream groups to sample water quality, rain barrel construction workshops to improve stormwater capacity, canoe clean-ups, and stream sampling trips.
