Oil_Gas_2000wide

Oil and Gas

We work to protect landowner rights and human and environmental health in the face of OIL AND GAS development -- ensuring that people have a fair say in where and how drilling occurs, and that development is balanced with long-term community interests.
Local_foods_2000wide

Local Foods & Agriculture

Healthy communities depend on sustainable and thriving family farms, ranches and food production. Western Colorado’s economy, land and people are able to thrive through good LOCAL FOOD AND AGRICULTURE systems.
Public_lands_2000wide

Public Lands

The responsible management of our PUBLIC LANDS protects our communities’ heritage, supports healthy wildlife and their habitat, sustains a strong and self-reliant economy, and preserves our quality of life for generations to come.
Clean_energy_2000wide

Clean Energy

Colorado is a leader in renewable energy in the US, and the Western Slope can play a pivotal role in developing a CLEAN ENERGY economy. Not only does the Western Slope have world-class solar access, but we also can lead the way on energy and water efficiency projects that work for rural communities.
