Southeastern Pennsylvania Resource Conservation & Development (SEPA RC&D) covers seven counties: Berks, Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Lehigh, Montgomery, and Northampton. The mission of the Southeastern PA RC&D Council is to promote conservation and enhancement of natural and community resources.

SEPA RC&D wishes to partner with local groups, businesses, and agencies throughout the region to accomplish locally important projects. The Council can be in either a supportive role or the primary sponsor of a project. The Southeastern Pennsylvania Resource Conservation and Development Council can assist by grant writing, finding sources of funding, seeking additional project partners, and/or the personnel to complete a project, or by serving as the financial manager for a project.

The governing body of the Southeastern PA RC&D Council, Inc. is the membership. The Board of Directors is responsible for carrying on the day-to-day operation of the Corporation. The Board of Directors includes representatives of the sponsoring organizations and at-large Directors representing citizens, organizations, agencies, and businesses of the Council Area. The Board of Directors meets during the months of January, March, May, July, September, and November. Special meeting may be called as allowed by the Corporation’s Constitution and Bylaws. All meetings are open to the public except for those occasions when the Board votes to meet in Executive Session to discuss personnel or other sensitive matters.
