is to help ensure the preservation of the District's natural resources and to promote the wise use of these resources.
The District combines available technical, financial and educational resources and coordinates efforts that meet the needs of the local land user. The Natural Resource Conservation Service is attached to the Delta Conservation District office and provides the following assistance to land owners:
• development of a salinity control program

- coordinating conservation efforts, activities, and funding for local conditions, needs, and priorities
- working directly with land owners and offering technical advice on natural resource concerns
