Welcome to the
Northwest RC&D Council
The Northwest Alabama Resource Conservation and Development Council mission is to implement and promote impact, driven projects and activities designed to promote the sustainability and productivity of the abundant, natural and human resources of our five-county, target area while improving the quality of life within the community.
Each RC&D Grant Project helps Alabama communities grow and prosper. Helping make Northwest Alabama a better place to Live, Work, and Play! We award funding through grants for special projects that enhance our human and natural resources to improve the quality of life for a better future for tomorrow.
We provide services to Lauderdale, Colbert, Franklin, Marion, and Winston Counties.
