Resource Conservation Districts (RCDs) are local units of government organized by local residents under State law. The Coastal San Luis Resource Conservation District (CSLRCD) is considered a legal subdivision of the State of California.

Under state law, the CSLRCD is responsible for soil and water conservation work within its boundaries. The Directors of the Coastal San Luis RCD are elected by district voters or appointed by the County Board of Supervisors, and they are not compensated for their work. The Board of Directors can make legal agreements with county, state and federal governments for work in the district.  Associate directors may be appointed by the CSLRCD to assist in special areas of interest.  Consultants and other individuals with special expertise may be called upon to achieve conservation goals.  A characteristic unique to Resource Conservation Districts is their ability to work directly with landowners on private lands
