CT Resource Conservation and Development

Connecticut Resource Conservation & Development (CTRC&D) is a 50-year-old nonprofit that specializes in strategic partnership development, agricultural viability, rural economic growth, and natural resource conservation and protection. CTRC&D has extensive experience via numerous USDA funding and other grant awards for projects and programs. The organization and staff have honed our ability to positively impact Connecticut residents and businesses by teaming with other nonprofits, local-regional-state government as well as educational institutions to create sustainable, synergistic, and dynamic projects and programs. These projects and programs have successfully benefited economic growth and viability of agriculture, job creation, apprenticeships, and small business in Connecticut, especially in rural and underserved communities. CTRC&D’s work assists communities with economic growth while also enhancing natural resource protection that serves to support community health and wellbeing. The CT RC&D Council’s Board is comprised of staff from partner organizations (80%) and at-large members of the community (20%).
