Welcome to the Nevada County Resource Conservation District's (NCRCD) website! Within the pages of this site you will find answers to your questions, seminars to attend, links to more information, and people to contact when reading about it just isn’t enough.
So, what can we help you accomplish today? Controlling invasive plants and weeds? Wildlife habitat improvement? Seeding your pasture? Clearing vegetation on your property? Identifying unhealthy trees? We can help you with all these things and more.
The NCRCD offers seminars throughout the year on conservation issues important to Nevada County and western Sierra County landowners. We sponsor educational and outreach events such as 'Ag-Sperience' at the Nevada County Fair, Range Camp, Arbor Day Plant Give Away, and the local high school Speak-Off Contest. We help with invasive species removal projects, offer wildlife nesting boxes, rural property management seminars, and more.
Our office has great planning tools (such as soil surveys) and other information that can help you determine if your property can accommodate your planned uses. We promote grazing as a land management tool and have an equipment loan program where landowners can borrow hand tools such as a soil sampler, weed wrench, pond rake, and a seed fertilizer/spreader.
The NCRCD is here to help with all your land management needs. Call, e-mail, or stop by for more help.

INVASIVE SPECIES
Invasive species are plants, animals, and other organisms that are non-native and likely to cause harm to the environment, economy, or human health.
WILDLIFE
Nevada County supports a wide variety of wildlife. Habitats consist of movement corridors, wetlands and riparian areas, and residence, breeding, and foraging areas.
NATIVE PLANTS
In addition to their natural beauty, native plants save money by requiring less water, very little fertilizer, and a minimum of other maintenance chores.
