Education

In 2001, the Feather River CRM established an Education Committee to further education efforts through the implementation of community and school-based education programs throughout the watershed.  Public education is an essential element to the success of the FRCRM program.  The Feather River CRM received $110,000 from the Department of Water Resources in 2004, and another $33,700 from the Plumas County Watershed Forum in 2005, for education and citizen monitoring programs.  These funding agreements were for two and one year(s), respectively.  In 2007, $37,490 was secured through the final round of PL106-393 Secure Rural Schools Title II funds to continue Watershed Stewardship through Education and Outreach for two years.  The FRCRM was awarded additional education funds by the Sierra Nevada Conservancy (Prop. 84) for $99,544.  To date, education efforts have been sustained through volunteer/partner support, and project-specific funding.
