Welcome to Rolling Hills RC&D
Mission
Providing leadership in protecting and improving the economic, social
and natural resources of residents in the RC&D Area.
Vision
We have a vision of a region that is greener and cleaner than ever
before, where individuals value the natural resources and strive to
protect them and where urban and rural communities can co-exist in
harmony.
Rolling Hills Resource Conservation and Development Council (RC&D) is a
non-profit (501c3) organization serving the nine county region of
Bartow, Carroll, Coweta, Douglas, Floyd, Haralson, Heard, Paulding and
Polk. Working with a variety of partners, and with assistance from
the US Department of Agriculture, Rolling Hills RC&D strives to improve
the quality of life in our region by protecting and improving our
natural resources while improving the local economy. The Council
offers a unique vehicle to plan, develop strategies, secure funding, and
implement projects to improve the quality of life for local citizens.
Since our establishment in 1998, we have completed over one hundred
projects to serve local agriculture, protect greenspace and farmland,
build and enhance local natural resource based businesses, improve local
parks and streetscapes, and protect water quality. We work closely
with private citizens, local businesses, schools, other non-profits,
state and federal agencies, and city and county governments. For
more information on our programs, please contact our office.
