This year’s 120-page report addresses the following issues:
- Immigration in the Rockies
- Affordable Housing in the Rockies: Housing a Region in Transition
- Renewable Energy in the Rockies: Responsibly Using the Resources of the West
- Wilderness and Extractive Industries: An Economic Transition in the Rockies
- Restoring Rivers in the West: Environmental Benefit, Economic Opportunity
The Colorado College State of the Rockies Conference, April 7-8, will feature keynote speaker Gale Norton, former secretary of the interior, and workshops led by the student researchers. It will be preceded by a film screening on April 6, in which seven films that deal predominately with various aspects of growth and its impact on the West will be shown. Films vary in length from 5 minutes to 53 minutes.
All events will be held on the Colorado College campus in Colorado Springs. The conference is free and open to the public; registration is not required. For more information, call (719) 227-8145 or visit www.ColoradoCollege.edu/StateoftheRockies.
