GARDEN ISLAND RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT

GIRC&D is a community-based organization focused on the prudent use of natural and human resources. Originally sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and initially administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service—a federal agency—we are now locally managed. The organization provides many avenues for worthy projects to succeed. Some projects that GIRC&D hosts are finite, but leave a lasting impact. Others become entities and nonprofit organizations on their own. Seven committees outreach to the community; one committee functions internally.
