The initiative will be widely recognized as "Partners in Conserva- tion." The first partner in the program is Cold- well Banker Kent Place Realty in Lindsay. KRCA and Coldwell Banker will jointly pro- mote certain conserva- tion events and pro- jects. Participating Coldwell agents will contribute a portion of their sales transactions to KRCA for conserva- tion related initiatives. On June 4 during a meeting of the KRCA executive committee, the program was given final approval.
