CRA emphasizes real, tangible results. We spend a lot of time in the field managing projects that have a clear impact on our land and water. When we sit down at the end of the year, it’s great to look back at the quality and quantity of work we were able to accomplish and 2014 did not disappoint.

This report provides an overview of the Upper Manistee River Restoration project. Two overarching goals defined this project: Habitat restoration on the 1,720 acre Flowing Well Trout Farm property and replacement of the most severe, habitat degrading road/stream crossing on the Manistee River’s North Branch on Mecum Road. Located in rural Kalkaska County in northern Michigan, this project was completed over a five year period with the help of many dedicated partners and funders.
