On-Farm Conservation Planning

The O`ahu RC&D works with farmers and ranchers to promote land stewardship while assisting farmers in the adoption of conservation practices that protect soil, water, air, plant and animal resources.  Conservation planners help producers recognize resource concerns on their property, choose the best management practices that will address those concerns, and implement those practices.  In some cases, financial assistance is available to help individuals meet their conservation needs.  Conservation plans are created through a voluntary and confidential process, and are approved by a board of directors from one of Oahu's Soil and Water Conservation Districts.  To learn more about steps to obtaining a conservation plan, please visit the Hawaii Association of Conservation Districts website, below, or call our Conservation Planners directly at 808-483-8600, ext 3.

The O'ahu RC&D partners with the following organizations to provide on-farm conservation planning:

City and County of Honolulu, Hawaii Association of Conservation Districts, Hawaii Farm Bureau, Windward Oahu and West Oahu Soil and Water Conservation Districts, State of Hawaii - various departments, USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service, and USDA - Rural Development
