Coordinated Resource Management

Update:

The Washington State Coordinated Resource Management (CRM) Task Group is looking for a Conservation District interested in updating a 2013 inventory list of current, past, and potential new CRMs in Washington. This project involves detective work to find past CRM members and requires communication skills to glean information about past CRMs. CRMs on this list include “traditional” CRMs, Coordinated Weed Management Areas (CWMAs), and locally-led CRM-like collaborations. View the RFA here.

The first pull of applications will be September 30, 2024, and the second, if needed, will be October 11, 2024. If you have any questions please reach out to Karla Heinitz at kheinitz@scc.wa.gov.

What is CRM?

The Coordinated Resource Management (CRM) program empowers local people to resolve land use and natural resource issues using collaborative problem solving.

Stakeholders form local coalitions that make natural resource decisions by consensus, often leading to effective solutions that generate strong local support.

CRM is defined by four key characteristics, which are:

  1. Voluntary
  2. Locally-led
  3. Landowner-initiated
  4. Inclusive
