The Mission of the Pembina Trail Resource, Conservation and Development Association is to provide leadership and assistance in coordinating the development of our human and natural resources. The Vision Statement of the Pembina Trail Resource, Conservation and Development Association is people and communities living in harmony with a healthy economy and environment. HistoryThe Pembina Trail Resource, Conservation and Development (RC&D) Association was authorized in February, 1992. Our geographic area covers the seven counties of Kittson, Marshall, Norman, Pennington, Polk, Red Lake and Roseau in northwestern Minnesota. The Pembina Trail RC&D is a nonprofit organization operating under the IRS 501(c)(3) regulations. Local sponsors are the Board of County Commissioners and the Soil and Water Conservation Districts from each county. Each sponsor appoints a member to serve as their representative on the RC&D Board. The County Board and the SWCD Board, also jointly select one person to serve as Member at Large from their respective county. Sponsor expenses include $400.00 for annual dues, plus per diem for meetings. The Pembina Trail RC&D office opened July 1, 1992, in Red Lake Falls, Minnesota. The USDA’s Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) supports this program by supplying staff, a vehicle and an office to the RC&D Association. The Pembina Trail RC&D Board meets six times a year. Board members are encouraged to participate in state, regional and national activities. The Pembina Trail RC&D is one of eight federally designated and two pending RC&D areas in Minnesota. There are currently 375 RC&D areas throughout the United States and its territories.
