Kelsey Maxwell and Nate Goodman tried out some of the items on display during their experience of the busy Outdoor Retail Sales Convention in Denver. The students visited the convention after they listened to CC’s Walt Hecox introduce this year’s poll results for the State of the Rockies. Maxwell is an intern and reporter for the Office of Sustainability.<\/p><\/div>\n

Five CC students attended the release of the State of the Rockies Project Conservation in the West Poll in January at Denver\u2019s Colorado Convention Center. They joined the Outdoor\u00a0Industry Association, the Center for Western Priorities, and two of the nation\u2019s leading pollsters for the release of the poll and a discussion of the evolving opinions and priorities in the land-management conversation in the West. Presenting at the event, \u201cState of the Rockies and Conversation in the West: A Discussion of Bipartisan Issues and Opinions in the Rocky Mountain West,\u201d was Walt Hecox \u201964<\/b>, professor emeritus of economics and founder of the State of the Rockies Project. The poll, now in its eighth year, continues to receive media attention. Outsid<\/i>e magazine covered the results in an online story titled \u201cBusting 11 Myths About Westerners and Conservation.\u201d A variety of media outlets, including newspapers, public radio stations in Colorado and Arizona, and the Outdoor Industry Association\u2019s publications also have carried the poll results.<\/span><\/p>\n

Following the poll release event, the students explored the floor of the Outdoor Retailer and Snow Show \u2014 relocated from Utah for the first time in 20 years. \u201cThe trade show was pretty crazy in itself,\u201d says Jonah Seifer \u201916<\/b>, State of the Rockies project specialist. \u201cStudents got to learn the results and implications of our latest Conservation Poll and then interact with industry representatives to learn about new products and trends in the outdoor industry.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
