How the County's

Resource Conservation District is

Helping People Help the Land

 

Please join us at our January 3rd Hybrid meeting! See you in person or via Zoom!

On January 3rd, Adria Arko, Director of Advancement for the San Mateo Resource Conservation District, will share about the district’s work on nature-based climate solutions. Discover how these strategies foster resilience for our communities, farms, and local ecosystems. Adria will also share about the RCD’s initiatives that sequester carbon, enrich soil health, and support local farmers.

Resource Conservation Districts across California serve as local hubs for conservation, connecting people with the technical, financial and educational assistance they need to conserve and manage natural resources.

RCDs are not part of County government. They are special districts, a form of local government created by the community to meet a specific need such as fire protection, open space, or flood control. RCDs help meet the need for voluntary resource conservation.

Please see the San Mateo Resource Conservation District website for more information: https://www.sanmateorcd.org/

Adria Arko has been with the San Mateo Resource Conservation District since 2015, where she currently serves as the Director of Advancement. With a background spanning diverse roles, including Climate and Agriculture Programs Manager and Agricultural Ombudsman, Adria has been developing initiatives that promote sustainable agricultural practices and agricultural viability. This work includes developing the RCD’s compost, urban agriculture, and carbon farming programs, and co-creating the County’s Community Climate Action Plan’s working lands chapter. She holds a Master's in Public Policy from California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo and a B.A. in Environmental Studies from Pitzer College.
