This June, the Colorado College State of the Rockies Project will begin its sixth year of research. With an outstanding new group of student researchers, we are excited to continue our tradition of researching key Rocky Mountain issues and engaging the public in our findings.
In addition to rigorous office-based analysis, student researchers will be investigating their topics in the field by taking a group research trip to the northern Rockies. Not only is this an opportunity to observe firsthand the real-world implications of their research, but it is also a chance to learn from experts region-wide. The topics to be addressed this summer are Wildlife: Historic Range and Current Condition, Wildlife Management, Wildlife Conflicts with Intense Energy Development, Wild and Scenic Rivers, and The “Megapolitan” Rockies.
