Upper Feather River Watershed

The proposed project will result in a Resource Management Planù for the Sierra Valley Resource Conservation District that will have a similar effect as a County General Plan has to counties and their respective land use programs. The Resource Management Plan will include the district organizational information; financial information; district services contemplated; a funding component; project review guidelines; education and outreach programs; process for plan updating; and a process for adopting and updating priorities for the many chapters of the plan that define the role and interests of the Resource Conservation District including but not limited to regulatory issues (GRAP; Irrigated Lands; etc) agriculture incentives and improving productivity; drought; water conservation and water supply; forest health and fire issues; land assessment; invasive species; soil conservation; fish and wildlife and habitat; conservation easements; recreation; wetland conservation; agricultural work plans; preservation of working landscapes; coordination with agencies; and other like subjects.
