The stellar content of the debris field around M81 is investigated using deep images obtained with MegaCam on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope .
Three new concentrations of bright main sequence stars and red supergiants are identified within \sim 20 kpc of M81 .
These systems have integrated brightnesses M _ { V } \sim - 11 and surface brightnesses \mu _ { V } \sim 27 - 28 mag arcsec ^ { -2 } .
The main sequence turn-offs are consistent with an age of \sim 30 Myr , while the presence of a well-developed red supergiant plume indicates that their stellar content is not coeval , as they also formed stars \sim 100 Myr in the past .
The photometric properties of the red supergiants indicate that the young stars in these systems have metallicities that are comparable to those of other objects in the debris field .
The HI density near these groupings comfortably exceeds the threshold required to trigger star formation .
Based on the close proximity of these objects to M81 , coupled with their extended sizes and low inferred masses , it is argued that they will not be long-lived structures , but will probably dissipate within the next \sim 1 Gyr .
