Nonprofit Overview
Mission: The conservation resource alliance is dedicated to maintaining the natural beauty and ecosystems of our land while simultaneously nurturing the economic vitality of northern michigan.
Programs: Stream restoration program: this program is designed to address stream bank erosion, failing road/stream crossings, dams, and recreational access sites, which cause adverse biological impacts to animal and plant life and threaten the ecology of entire watersheds. Restoration programs provide for road crossing improvements, structural stabilization measures, dam removal, and stream channel restoration to improve habitat and water quality. Four million acres, fifteen counties and twelve major streams have been aided through this program.
the landowner and site services program: this program is designed to assist landowners developing management plans to keep wildlife corridors open between existing natural areas and along river corridors in order to allow for the unrestricted movement of wildlife and the protection of water quality. Corridors along wetlands and streams contain a high diversity of plants and animals whose habitat has become increasingly fragmented by development.
planning and consulting programs: these programs involve facilitating local leadership and planning in cra's service area, plus agile and carefully matched involvement in regional efforts at the state, great lakes and national scale. Through our planning and consulting work, cra is committed to staying proactive and highly current on each local watershed and corridor. It has also added value by sharing our sucessful models with others in fifteen counties working on twelve major streams.
