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 24 public and private sector groups who formed in 1985 to collectively improve watershed health in the upper Feather River Watershed. Over 115 watershed projects have been completed including studies and assessments, stream restoration, monitoring, resource management plans, strategic planning, community outreach and educational activities. Since 1985 66 on-the-ground restoration projects have treated approximately 44 miles of stream, directly restoring approximately 3,900 acres of meadow/flooplain within the Upper Feather River Watershed. These projects have been planned, funded, and collaboratively implemented by the watershed 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.
