Summary
Solano Resource Conservation District (Solano RCD) is a special district to the State of California which works closely with a variety of local and regional partners to enhance and protect Solano County watersheds through strategic restoration activities, water education and outreach programs, and by offering conservation planning and watershed coordination services to local residents and landowners. Solano RCD staff and its Board of Directors strive towards excellence, equity, inclusion, collaboration, and appreciation in the work performed and welcomes candidates who share these same values.
Environmental Outreach Interns work on the Boater Outreach Program which promotes environmentally sound boating practices to protect local waterways from pollutants. Public outreach occurs at local marinas and boat launches at Lake Berryessa, San Pablo Bay, Suisun Bay, and the Delta. Interns conduct one-on-one outreach by administering the Dockwalker survey, in partnership with the CA Coastal Commission, between Memorial Day to Labor Day. The program also includes reducing oil pollution by ensuring hundreds of boaters install oil absorbents that physically capture potential pollutants such as boat oil and fuel.
