​​The Northern Sacramento Valley Coalition (NSVC) is working region-wide to develop a Regional Priority Plan. This collaboration will support the successful growth and long-term stability of organizational, community, and collaborative capacity to effectively plan, develop, and implement projects and programs with the goal of creating multi-benefit outcomes. NSVC members will develop organizational capacity within each participating RCD as well as support other organizations throughout the NSVC RFFC Region involved with promoting conservation initiatives. The collaborative partnership will work within the region to provide technical assistance to partners and others to increase the pace and scale of project implementation. Additionally, the members of NSVC will identify opportunities for workforce development and training in order to accelerate the progress of program activities, with the aim of growing capacities and “shovel-ready” project pipelines throughout the NSVC RFFC Region.
