Welcome
For nearly 30 years, the NRLC has engaged in research aimed at informing the public discussion regarding natural resource and environmental policy issues, and helping resolve the conflicts surrounding resource development and the environment.
The NRLC constituents include all levels of government, the industry, community and environmental groups, attorneys, Native American Tribes, academics, students, and the general public.
Through a comprehensive program of research, education, and advice, the NRLC works with our network of leading legal and policy decision-makers, natural resource administrators, researchers, stakeholders, and concerned citizens — and in conjunction with the University of Colorado Law School and the broader University of Colorado community and regional and national natural resources institutions — the NRLC focuses intellectual and practical expertise on natural resources issues of importance in the American West.
