The CRA was formed in 1989 by a small group of dreamers who believed that our riparian zones should not become sacrifice areas. Now an army of volunteers that includes landowners, citizens, agency staff, planners, and technical specialists, CRA shares that dream by sharing its knowledge, enthusiasm, and experience with anyone who joins us in trying to improve Colorado's river systems and riparian ecosystems. Our Mission and Goals Our mission is to promote protection and restoration of Colorado's riparian areas and wetlands through better awareness of the values and long-term benefits of good management.
Goals foster a practical and scientific understanding of riparian areas and wetlands in Colorado.
You can be part of the excitement. Just print out and mail us a copy of our Membership Form. The biggest membership benefit is, of course, the opportunity to meet and work with other enthusiastic people who want to make a difference for Colorado's riparian areas. Members also receive the green line newsletter four times each year. Our annual conference, a great opportunity to hear the latest in riparian developments, offers special registration prices to members, who also receive copies of the proceedings at no extra charge.
