The Feather River Coordinated Resource Management Group was established in 1985 to protect, maintain and enhance ecosystems and community stability in the Feather River Watershed through collaborative landowner participation.

The Feather River Coordinated Resource Management (FRCRM) group is a partnership of 23 public and private sector groups who formed in 1985 to collectively improve watershed health in the upper Feather River Watershed. Over 80 watershed projects have been completed including studies and assessments, stream restoration, monitoring, resource management plans, strategic planning, community outreach and educational activities. Over 30 miles of stream and 2,800 riparian acres have been treated over the last twenty years, at a cost of seven million dollars contributed largely by FRCRM partners. The FRCRM recognizes that restoring watershed function is a major priority in reversing erosional trends and improving environmental and economic resources. Stable, well-vegetated streams with functioning meadows, aquifers and uplands are critical in maintaining good watershed condition. Achieving this state begins with reestablishing stability and proper hydrologic function in headwater meadows by reconnecting channels with historic floodplains. This represents the current focus of the FRCRM. Overall, restoration activities play an important role in accelerating improvement in watershed function, the local economy, and downstream uses. Public education is also an essential element to the success of the FRCRM program.
