Rob McCrea is the Land Conservation Attorney for Conservation Law Center. Rob grew up hiking, hunting, and camping in the hills of southern Indiana. Rob’s passion for the outdoors began in his childhood camping at his family’s land in Monroe County with his father and friends. Rob studied Ecology and Natural History at Prescott College in Arizona and received his Law degree at Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland, Oregon. While he has been fortunate to travel widely, his heart has always remained in Indiana. Rob first practiced law in Bloomington at McCrea & McCrea, a law firm founded by his grandfather. After eight years of practice, he decided to return to environmental roots and worked as Land Preservation Director for Indiana’s largest land trust, Sycamore Land Trust. Representing the public interest on environmental issues and working towards ecosystem management and landscape scale conservation were ultimate career goals that guided Rob towards the study and practice of law.
Rob and his wife Aika, enjoy rock-climbing in their free time and spending time with their Goldendoodle Maple.
