The Clearwater Basin Collaborative was formally convened in May 2008 by Senator Mike Crapo after years of strife between conservation and resource use interests. The Collaborative partners primarily with the Nez Perce – Clearwater National Forests and other land managers in the Clearwater Basin to ….
“enhance and protect the ecological and economic health of the forests, rivers, and communities within the Clearwater Basin by working across a diversity of interests.”
We are advised by Senator Crapo’s office, Senator Risch’s office, Congressman Fulcher’s office, and various state, federal, and tribal organizations. Clearwater Economic Development Association (CEDA) provides fiscal sponsorship on behalf of the collaborative.
