We would like to thank the RC&D Program for providing the funding for our website. We are able to share the history of Washington County and share News with the community.

The RC&D Program was established in the Agriculture Act of 1962, with responsibility for the administration of the program placed within the Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Successive Farm Bills have provided for the further development of the program, including deepening the partnership between RC&D Councils and the NRCS.

Our Grants program has been providing funding for projects for decades and we’ve watched as those projects have helped communities become better places to live, work and play.
