Town and Country RC&D
Our Eat Here, Eat Well project is bringing healthier, more local foods to area schools through a Harvest of the Month program
Town and Country RC&D works to enhance and improve the quality of life in the 13-county area of Southeast Wisconsin by promoting healthy communities, a healthy environment and sustainable economic growth.
This region represents: 2.7 million people (one-half of Wisconsin's population; 14% of Wisconsin's total land area; 15,000 farms and 3 million acres of farmland.) Our region is blessed with rich soils, ample water, and vibrant cities. Given the diverse and dynamic nature of a population that lives in urban, suburban and rural areas within the region, the health of the land and water is intrinsically linked to the health of our farms, our cities, and ourselves. |
Counties in the Town and Country RC&D Area:
Columbia County | Dane County | Dodge County | Green Lake County | Jefferson County | Kenosha County | Milwaukee County | Ozaukee County | Racine County | Rock County | Walworth County | Washington County | Waukesha County A Map of All of the RC&Ds in the Country can be found here.

We're not lyin'. It was a good time!
We shared stories on how we can keep it local for food, wood, and investments. Here Ed Miller, of the National RC&D Association, keeps emeritus Board member and Town and Country RC&D founder, Ruth Johnson, in high spirits. Working to conserve and develop our state's natural resources doesn't have to be all work and no play. For a photo album of the evening, please click here.
