Jim Wilcox

Mr. Jim Wilcox is the Senior Project and Program Manager at Plumas Corporation for the Feather River Coordinated Resource Management group. He has designed and completed more than 40 successful projects that restored 48 miles of stream channels and riparian habitats, and pioneered the use of the pond-and-plug technique in northeastern California, successfully restoring 3,400 acres of meadow floodplains and wetlands, most of which lie in the Feather River watershed along the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Many organizations and individuals seek his input and guidance on restoration projects, as he has repeatedly gone out of his way to assist other organizations and share his expertise and experience. In working to restore the Big Meadows in Sequoia National Forest, Mr. Wilcox drove eight hours to visit the project after a flood event. He spent several weeks writing up a technical paper about the project’s response to share with the projects partners, all of which was voluntary and outside of the project requirements.
