The Columbia Plateau Resources Council was established in Feb. 1966 at
Spokane, Washington. The purpose and objectives of this organization were to
provide an organization in which all individuals groups, and agencies concerned
with the land and water resources of the Columbia Plateau and component
drainage basins can participate to insure the orderly development, efficient
use, proper management and conservation of these resources. The area included
in this organization consists of the land in the State of Idaho and that part
of the States of Washington and Oregon lying east of the Cascade Range which
drains into the Columbia River.
Key persons involved in the formation of the organization include
Scott Barr (President of Washington State Association of SWCD's), Earl
MaClellan (SWCD supervisor), Louis Madsen (Dean of College of Agriculture,
WSU), Lewis Hargis (member of Idaho State ASC Committee), and Verle Kaiser
(Conservation Agronomist for SCS). This collection covers the period of 1965
through 1968.
This collection is arranged into seven series: Membership and Dues;
Organizational Records; Meetings; Finance; Legislation; Correspondence,
Newsletters and Related Information. All series are chronologically arranged.
This collection is open for research use.
