Give the gift of memories. Protect the Colorado we love.
Think about your favorite memories of the West. A family camping trip beneath the stars. An afternoon beside a rushing river. The first time you stood in awe of a mountain landscape.
These experiences connect us to the places we love. And we want future generations to have the same opportunities to make memories of their own.
At Western Resource Advocates (WRA), we’re working to make that future possible. For more than 30 years, we’ve brought together researchers, attorneys, policy experts, and advocates to advance lasting solutions to the West’s most pressing climate and conservation challenges.
Our work focuses on three priorities:
From state legislatures to utility commissions, we work where decisions are made, turning research-based solutions into meaningful policies that protect the West.
And we couldn’t do it without people like you.
This Colorado Gives Day, your gift helps protect the West we love so more memories can be made for generations to come.

WRA fights climate change and its impacts to sustain the environment, economy, and people of the West.
Western Resource Advocates has worked for more than 30 years to protect the lands, rivers, and communities that make the West extraordinary.
Across seven Interior West states, we combine research, legal expertise, and strategic advocacy to advance practical solutions to climate change and conservation challenges.
Our team works directly with state legislatures, regulatory agencies, utilities, and local governments to turn ambitious environmental goals into lasting policies.
Together with community partners and supporters, we’ve helped pass landmark clean energy laws, protect millions of acres of land, and safeguard thousands of miles of rivers and streams.
As the West faces increasing pressure from climate change, water scarcity, and development, we’re building on that progress to protect the places and experiences that make this region home.
