The American West is defined by its natural heritage of wildlife, rivers, forests, and wildlands. The region is blessed with communities of life that make it special. WELC strives to preserve and restore the unique characteristics of the West, including wildlife species and their habitat; free-flowing rivers; and landscapes of quiet and solitude to ensure that the West remains the geography of hope.

Those who live in or love the American West are fortunate that the region still provides habitat for wildlife as varied as the grizzly, wolverine, spotted owl, and wild salmon. Historically, the region has struggled with how to live with certain species, and our impact on wildlife and wildlife habitat has been dramatic. Now, with the impending changes due to climate change, it is more important than ever that we provide wildlife the space to roam as they search for new, suitable habitat. WELC focuses its expertise on preserving and restoring indigenous wildlife species and critical habitat movement corridors.

Working with the Horse Creek Water Users, a group of local ranchers, WELC challenged the State of Montana’s approval of a groundwater drilling application for a new subdivision development that failed to analyze the big picture, or cumulative impacts on existing water permits and activities that also rely on the area’s ground and surface water. WELC won the case, and then brokered a deal to permanently close the loophole that developers were using to avoid such cumulative impacts analysis on a region’s water supply when seeking permission to drill wells for new developments.

WELC played a pivotal role in the removal of the Gold Ray Dam on Oregon’s famous Rogue River, allowing the river to flow freely 157 miles to the Pacific Ocean.

For over 100 years, the dam prevented wild coho salmon from reaching their native spawning grounds, leading state biologists to rank its removal as a top priority for restoring wild salmon in Oregon.

On behalf of WaterWatch, WELC successfully advocated for the dam’s removal in state land use and federal court.

What motivates you to work for the environment? Why did you select WELC to represent WaterWatch? At an early age I developed a love for nature, and today WaterWatch played a key role in securing federal funding fishing, rafting, birding, backpacking and cross-country to remove the Gold Ray Dam. We selected WELC because skiing are an important part of my life. I also have a of the breadth of legal experience on a wide range of state good understanding of ecological principles through my and federal issues, and because of the willingness to assist educational background.

In simple terms, domestic energy sources can be divided into two camps: clean/renewable, and dirty/finite. WELC is striving to promote environmentally responsible “smart from the start” renewable energy development that balances the need for rapid clean energy production with protections for wildlands and wildlife. We are working equally hard to fight irresponsible, climate changing dirty energy development from oil and natural gas drilling on federal lands to the expansion and perpetuation of coal mines and coal-burning power plants. In short, WELC is committed to helping shape our laws and policies to proactively root out our dependence on dirty fossil fuels and propel us into our clean energy future.
