The State of the Rockies Project encourages students to explore environmental and social challenges in the Rocky Mountain West through collaborative student-faculty research, coursework, and stakeholder engagement. Students embark on interdisciplinary investigations around the region to discover the possibilities for balancing human activity without spoiling the natural environment.<\/p>\n

New this year was the Conservation in the West student vintage poster contest in which students were invited to design a vintage-style poster of a national park, monument, or forest in the Rocky Mountain region. Students based their posters on artwork produced during the Federal Art Act of 1937, which promoted visitation to a newly created National Parks system \u2014 but with a twist: the posters were required to contain a contemporary conservation message. During Summer 2020, visitation numbers and parks visited more than doubled, so the messages needed to be much different for recreationists today.<\/p>\n

Students analyzed State of the Rockies Conservation in the West Poll results to pick their contemporary conservation message. The poll explores voters in the Rocky Mountain West\u2019s bi-partisan opinions about conservation, energy, water, and more. The posters for this year\u2019s winners tackled various issues, from forest fires to climate change.<\/p>\n
