To build just and sustainable communities that provide for people and the natural world.

The CRA’s work seeks to address regional social and environmental problems and instill common understandings, build social unity, and advocate problem solutions. We speak directly to the connecting interests of people, communities and long-term sustainability.

CRA is a 501c(3) nonprofit that has been operating since 1990. Our mission seeks to protect Western Oregon’s forests while supporting a vibrant rural economy. We accomplish our mission through research, public education and grassroots organizing for action.
