Directors of these districts can make agreements and use available funds or contributions to carry out their purposes. The law also encourages districts to collaborate on local resource issues with different agencies and landowners under a specific cooperative agreement.

This law allows directors to work on both public and private lands to prevent or control soil erosion, conserve and distribute water, enhance agriculture, and stabilize land against erosion.

These activities can be done independently or in partnership with governments or individuals.

This law allows districts to help private landowners and occupants with technical support to prevent soil damage, promote environmental resilience, and adapt to climate change.

Even if a landowner is a director in the district, they can still receive this assistance.

In this California statute, districts are encouraged to create several types of planning documents: a long-range work plan, an annual work plan, and an annual district report. The long-range work plan should be reviewed every five years and outline resource issues, goals, priorities, and agency cooperation to guide local conservation efforts. The annual work plan, due by September 30th each year, should detail specific actions, responsibilities, and relationships between these actions and long-term goals, while also coordinating with agencies like the Natural Resources Conservation Service. Additionally, an annual report provides updates on progress towards goals, increases public awareness, and helps assess accomplishments compared to yearly objectives.

Districts can either develop their own conservation education programs for K-12 or collaborate with other organizations to use existing programs.

Additionally, districts may conduct workshops that explore how soil and resource problems impact wildlife and water quality. They can also sponsor programs focused on land use practices that address issues like erosion, soil contamination, soil salinity, and soil compaction.

The board of directors in a district can form advisory committees to help tackle soil and resource issues. These committees can also support conservation efforts and share relevant information. Members can include people from government agencies, schools, and private organizations.
