We are in the midst of continuing a revolution in our society that is spawning changes as profoundly

important as any born during the industrial revolution a century ago.

We recognize that the only constant is change and that change itself is nothing new. What is different 

now is the speed at which it overtakes us. Rapid change challenges traditions. We must do more than

simply adapt to what is happening all around us. To achieve the future we hope for, we must be more

proactive to influence the course of change.

The District's Board of Supervisors vision for the future provides both a direction in which the District 

should move and the energy to begin that move. From that vision the Board will develop necessary

procedures and operations to create a future that is consistent with the goals of the people and within

the capability of the resources.

The NCCD is a leader in resolving Natural Resource Conservation issues such as water quality, watershed
planning, efficient irrigation practices, community education, value added agriculture products and range
management. The District is also providing technical staff and equipment. The District is providing Natural
Resource Conservation learning opportunities to urban and rural people by sponsoring and promoting visits
to field sites where successful practical applications of conservation practices can be seen. The District is
respected for its commitment, leadership and innovations in the wise use of our Natural Resources.
