WHO
WE ARE
The
Nevada Tahoe Conservation District (NTCD) is one of approximately
3,000 Conservation Districts functioning in all 50 States and U.S.
Territories. Conservation Districts are sub-divisions of State government
and are unique locally led conservation agencies. Districts provide
resource management and technical assistance to land occupiers (owners,
renters, and producers) as well as work cooperatively with Federal,
State, and Local
governments in the delivery of conservation programs.
The Nevada Tahoe Conservation District is one of 28 Conservation
Districts functioning under the auspices of Nevada Revised Statute,
Chapter 548. The District is a Governmental Sub-division of the State
of Nevada and a public body corporate created in 1976. Prior to
July 1st, 1976 the land area that now makes up the NTCD was part
of a larger Conservation District known as the Tahoe Verdi Conservation
District.
Local leaders realized the unique natural resource issues of the
Lake Tahoe Basin and realigned District boundaries to create the
NTCD. They believed the realignment would allow for more effective
conservation management of Lake Tahoe’s natural resources.
Now the District encompasses all of the
land in the Lake Tahoe Basin residing in the State of Nevada including
portions of Douglas and Washoe Counties and the Carson City Rural
Area.
The Nevada Tahoe Conservation District (NTCD) is now Nevada Lake
Tahoe’s local conservation agency and source for technical
assistance. The District is a non-regulatory and grant funded agency
that works closely with its Federal,
State, and Local
partners to deliver conservation programs to the Nevada Lake Tahoe
Community. The District is guided
by a Board of Supervisors made up of elected
and appointed community leaders. The Board of Supervisors provides
direction to the District’s full time staff
in carrying out the District’s mission statement, vision, and
guiding principals.
As described in our mission statement, the
District seeks to provide its constituents with superior technical
assistance, educational resources, and conservation leadership with
the goal of protecting Lake Tahoe’s natural resources.
