Prior to the middles 1950s, Red Clover Creek was a relatively shallow stream with permanent baseflow supporting an excellent fishery. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, federal programs were introduced to eliminate willows using aerial herbicide spraying. At about the same time, over 300 beaver were removed from the system. These actions brought Red Clover Creek to the brink of collapse. The 1955 flood was the catalyst for the massive gully which formed through the valley. Once the gully was formed, baseflow was lost, and erosion and sediment transport ensued. The Feather River Coordinated Resource Management Group (FRCRMG) was formed in 1985 to manage the restoration of Red Clover Creek. This video was filmed June 11, 2010, during the 25th Anniversary of the FRCRMG.
