Capital Resource Conservation And Development Inc

The organizaion with the support of the county conservation districts surveyed the use of two important agricultural best practices - cover cropping and conservation tillage. We did this by conducting transect surveys of thirty-four counties in the chesapeake bay watershed of pennsylvania. The data collected helps pennsylvania farmers get credit for their conservation efforts and informs agricultural agencies about the status of these practices.

These program activities included fiscal sponsorship of fledgling organizations and support for related organizations in our region and a state-wide organization with a related mission. Among the activities, the organization provides administrative support for the state-wide, pennsylvania grazing lands coalition. In addition, the organization works with conservation partners in our region to support collaboration under several initiatives including the south mountain partnership.
