Programs
The Suisun Resource Conservation District (SRCD) represents private landowners of the Suisun Marsh at the Federal, State, and local levels. Its historic goal has been to achieve a water supply of adequate quality so that preferred wetland habitat values will be retained through appropriate management practices. Through cooperation with landowners and various agencies, SRCD seeks to develop new programs aimed at protecting and improving the Suisun Marsh for future generations.

For more information on any of the programs listed below, please follow the website links.

Activities / Services

Presley Program   The California Waterfowl Habitat Program (Presley Program) was created to help support landowners in their efforts to preserve and enhance wetland waterfowl habitat. Developed from the California Waterfowl Habitat Preservation Act of 1987.

Management Plans

Suisun Marsh Management Plans   A management plan consists of site information on each club’s infrastructure, (ditches, water control structures, etc.) and recommended management actions.

Pest / Weed Control Programs

Lepidium Control Program   Lepidium or perennial peppergrass is an invasive plant/weed that thrives in the Suisun Marsh.

Phragmites Control Program   An invasive plant/weed that thrives in the Suisun Marsh.

Water Manager Program

Portable Pump Program   Through the signing of the SMPA, funds by DWR and the USBR were secured to purchase portable agriculture pumps for the marsh. The purpose of the pumps is to aid clubs with water management so they can achieve optimal habitat goals.

Water Manager Program   As part of the SMPA, the SRCD was to institute a Water Manager Program and was obligated to hire a support staff to help coordinate and improve water management practices on individual ownerships throughout the marsh.

Wetland and Wildlife Habitat

North American Wetland Conservation Act Program   The North American Wetlands Conservation Act (NAWCA) of 1989 provides matching grants to organizations and individuals who have developed partnerships to carry out wetlands conservation projects in the United States, Canada, and Mexico for the benefit of wetlands-associated migratory birds and other wildlife.

Suisun Marsh Preservation Agreement   A cooperative agreement with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Department of Water Resources, Department of Fish & Game and SRCD to improve wildlife habitat on Suisun Marsh managed wetlands. It is through this agreement, that the Water Manager Program and Portable Pump Program are funded.

Wildlife Habitat Improvement Program (WHIP)   Over the years the WHIP program has resulted in hundreds of acres being planted with upland grasses.
