CDFW has also participated in the Sustainable Communities Leadership Program (SCLP) of the Environmental Careers Organization (ECO) by sponsoring a series of graduate fellows in the NCCP program. The Department is committed to improving the NCCP process, and thus sponsored program evaluations by the SCLP fellows.
