Our Work

We have a highly experienced team of attorneys and policy experts who work close to the ground from offices in Oregon, Washington, Montana, New Mexico, and Colorado. As a public interest law firm, WELC does not charge clients and partners for services, but relies instead on charitable gifts from individuals, families, and foundations to accomplish our mission.

Gray wolves

The West depends on its iconic wildlife. WELC protects native animals while preserving and restoring the healthy, functioning natural ecosystems they call home.

Kids running
