Chino Winds NRCD is located in the north and central area of Yavapai County. Most of the District is comprised of rangeland, characterized by grassland, chaparral, and other vegetation types. Land ownership is a mixture of private, state, and federal lands.
Dominant land use in the District is for ranching and outdoor recreation, including hunting, hiking, and camping. Increasingly, urban development and subdivision of private lands are having impacts on these land uses. New highway construction to accommodate increased population has also impacted rangelands.
The District works cooperatively with the National Resources Conservation Service to provide technical assistance and cost sharing for conservation practices , primarily on private and state lands. Practices include prescribed grazing, brush control, fencing, and water developments and noxious weed control. Recent droughts have significantly increased the frequency and intensity of wildfires, and when heavy thunderstorms follow, damage from flooding and erosion is significant.
The District seeks to mitigate these impacts through cooperation with the NRCS and other agencies to provide education, technical assistance, and funding.
