Conservation Works (also known as the North Coast RC&D Council), protecting nature and communities in the North Coast.

Environmental and social problems are complex. But the solutions are simple: Action. When we all decide to do just a little more, then small actions add up to a world of difference.


Take Action

  • Enhance Water Resources

    Help our schools, community gardens, and rural communities conserve local water resources

  • North Bay Forest Improvement Program

    Implement fire resiliency actions on your land through our incentives program to mitigate wildfire risk and improve forest health in our highly fire-prone region.

  • Slow Climate Change

    Reduce carbon emissions in our communities by creating school food waste composters and in watersheds by restoring native grasslands and forests

  • Restore Ecosystems

    Conduct watershed restoration projects to protect wildlife, land and water.

  • Protect Pollinators

    Plant pollinator habitats for biodiversity and species resiliency on working lands, schools, and parks

  • Care for Farms and Celebrate Agriculture

    Support small farmers, assist school gardens and celebrate our rich agricultural heritage


Ready to take the next step?

Come join us as a volunteer or donor to take positive action in the North Coast. If these past few years have taught us anything, it’s that we all can – and must – do more to think of the common good to create a better future together.

Attend our Events

Come join Conservation Works as we celebrate our successes together, connect with nature, and take direct action for conservation and resource protection in the beautiful place we call home.  We'll make it easy for you to get outside and take direct action to help local wildlife, save water, address climate change and so much more!
