RCPP brings together a wide array of local and national partners, including Indian tribes, nonprofit organizations, state and local governments, private industry, conservation districts, water districts, universities and many others.

The most successful RCPP projects share four common characteristics--they innovate, leverage additional contributions, offer impactful solutions, and engage an active and effective partnership.
