Preserving Delta CHHAARM
(Culture, History, Health, Agriculture, Arts, Rights, & Music)

The Delta Ecology Research Conservancy (DERC) is dedicated to the Study, Teaching, Stewardship and Conservation of the Mississippi Yazoo Delta Ecology, Natural Environment, People, Culture, and their impact on the Culture & Economy of The United States and The World. DERC focuses on the conservation and preservation of the history, culture, and economy of the Mississippi Delta and Mid-South. The Mississippi Yazoo Delta and its comparatively small population is one of the most historic, prolific, and productive environments in the world.

The Mississippi Delta begins in the lobby of The Peabody Hotel in Memphis and ends on Catfish Row in Vicksburg.

DERC preserves and archives the numerous contributions the Mississippi Yazoo Delta and Mid-South has made to the development, leadership, and worldwide dominance of the United States in Music, Art, Literature, Agriculture, Theatre, and Civil Rights. It includes a large Hardwood & Wildlife Preserve, and a Conference & Media Center with Production and Housing Facilities.
