A basic working philosophy emerged for the Project Revive Team very early in the project, which we feel would be effective for anyone working with Resource Conservation Districts. The Four R's of Revival Respect Directors are the greatest assets of your RCDs.
Directors are the RCDs greatest strength, providing the continuity of land stewardship.
Directors are volunteering countless hours to their local communities and in the last 50 years through their RCDs have brought millions of dollars of projects to completion . Directors have the respect of their communities. Directors know the land. Listen to the Directors Re-empower Review the Powers and Legal Authorities of RCDs with Directors. Review opportunities and responsibilities with historic partners under the Farm Bill, MOUs, and state legislation.
