The Mississippi Association of RC&D Councils is made up of 7 Councils serving all 82 counties in Mississippi. The Councils provide a focal point of local leadership and bring together private citizens and local, state and federal agencies to improve economic, social, and environmental conditions within each RC&D Area. Council members are local volunteers from all occupations and vocations.

Councils have Area plans that define local goals and objectives and priorities. Councils have proven ability and strength of leadership to accomplish projects. RC&D depends on grass-roots involvement in making decisions about local areas and on the value of public-private partnerships in making the best use of limited resources. RC&D works to achieve a balance between rural economic development and natural resources protection while working toward a goal of community sustainability.

RC&D is a program of local people determining their own needs, then creating their own solutions. To review activities of individual RC&D Councils within Mississippi, click on the map as desired.

The Mississippi Association of RC&D Councils is a member of the National Association of RC&D Councils.
