Conservation Resource Alliance (CRA) is a private, not-for-profit corporation committed to "sensible stewardship of the land. Established in 1968 as part of a nationwide network of Resource Conservation and Development Councils, the organization serves northwest lower . Staffed with wildlife biologists, fisheries biologists, engineers and field technicians, CRA works with landowners to plan, locate funding options, cut through red tape, and implement programs to enhance the habitat value and beauty of the region. CRA is known for its collaborative land-use solutions among private landowners, government agencies, and commercial businesses. The intent of CRA is not to litigate to prevent development, but to foster locally-driven solutions that will preserve or develop land in a positive manner for all parties involved. Instead of promoting further regulations or lawsuits, our aim is to foster partnerships in order to understand consequences, alter behavior, and create win-win cooperative efforts. Our understanding of regulations and funding control help many groups take advantage of opportunities, mobilize resources, minimize red tape, cut through bureaucratic layers, touch all bases, avoid surprises, and see that change proceeds fairly for all parties involved. CRA's RiverCare Program is an example of a program aimed at reaching specific regional stewardship goals. The RiverCare Program was created to guarantee that natural resource professionals maintain a consistent and prioritized action plan for each river in CRA's region, find and repair physical problems before they become worse, and maintain efficient, coordinated local river committees of agency, resident, and interest group representatives. The company is based in Traverse City, MI.
