Coordinated Resource Management (CRM) supports locally driven, partnership-based approaches to conservation. By bringing together landowners, conservation districts, tribes, agencies, and community partners, CRM helps address shared resource challenges, align priorities, and support durable, landscape-scale solutions.
This effort strengthens statewide Coordinated Resource Management (CRM) by supporting training, coordination, and collaboration among partners. The work helps build local capacity, improve cross-boundary resource management, and sustain effective, partnership-driven conservation across Washington.

CRM supports locally led, collaborative solutions to land use and natural resource challenges. Through voluntary and inclusive partnerships, landowners, conservation districts, tribes, agencies, and community members work together to build consensus and address shared resource concerns.
