The Big Springs Resource Conservation & Development (RC&D) Council received official Congressional approval on December 19, 1975. There are currently 375 Councils nationwide including 8 in Missouri.
The RC&D program consists of people working together to help each other. Initiation, sponsorship, planning, and implementation of various projects is done locally.
