A unique, and critical provision of these laws was the right for everyday people to enforce them against violators.<\/p>\n<p>Out West in 1976, professor Frank Berry at the University of Oregon School of Law formed the first environmental law clinic in the nation. It grew to include professor John Bonine and in 1981 added a recent graduate, Mike Axline. Bonine and Axline together used these laws and the citizen suit provision to provide free legal representation to grassroots conservation organizations across the western U.S. By the early 1980s, the clinic was stopping Air Force bomber flights over ranches and wilderness areas, forcing disclosure of toxic chemicals in household products, and holding polluters accountable to the law.<\/p>\n<p>However, the clinic&#8217;s relationship with the University of Oregon was forever changed in 1987 when its law students, together with the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund, challenged Oregon timber sales to protect the endangered northern spotted owl.<\/p>\n<p>In response, the timber industry launched an unprecedented attack on the University of Oregon Law School\u2019s academic freedom. Through industry allies in the Oregon legislature, a resolution was introduced to close down not just the environmental clinic, but the entire law school, if the clinic was not disbanded. In 1993, the environmental law clinic voluntarily moved off campus and became the Western Environmental Law Center.<\/p>\n<p>Our\u00a0case\u00a0over the fate of the endangered spotted owl and the Pacific Northwest\u2019s ancient forests set a new precedent for environmental protection. By advocating for national forest management based on the unique needs of a bioregion rather than one-size-fits-all management, WELC sparked the creation of the groundbreaking Northwest Forest Plan \u2013 the first regional ecosystem-based management plan in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>Since 1993, WELC has expanded its offices across the West, first to New Mexico and then to Montana and Washington. We have helped bring Mexican wolves back to the Southwest, protected northern spotted owls and the Pacific Northwest\u2019s ancient forests, shielded Canada lynx from trapping, and stopped\u00a0the federal government from betraying\u00a0the wolverine for political reasons.<\/p>\n<p>We have protected free-flowing rivers from the Rio Grande in New Mexico to the Rogue River in Oregon. We helped the Assiniboine and Gros Ventre Tribes fight against gold mines on their ancestral lands in Montana over repeated cyanide spills, and we helped numerous other communities fight against toxic discharges from factory farms and industrial polluters, including brokering a historic agreement with Los Alamos National Laboratory to address nuclear and other hazardous waste. We protected the 102,000-acre Valle Vidal in New Mexico from coalbed methane drilling forever, stopped polluting field burning in Oregon\u2019s Willamette Valley, and protected clean water from coal mine pollution in Montana.<\/p>\n<p>At WELC, we work every day to ensure those who would harm our public lands, our drinking water, wildlife, and communities are held accountable to U.S. law. Without watchdogs like ourselves and our partners, the laws meant to protect our values would be powerless. As we face climate change, our fight toward more resilient natural systems and communities is more important than ever.<\/p>\n<p>We have also grown during this time, both in size and in influence. We now play a key role in the future of the western U.S. by identifying and advocating for forward-thinking environmental policies and to credibly counter our opposition\u2019s efforts through targeted, vigilant legal advocacy. Our well-established litigation capacity provides us with a strong foundation and the credibility to leverage existing political dynamics in favor of conservation through a powerful combination of litigation, administrative-level legal advocacy, and policy advocacy.<\/p>\n<p>Since the Oregon legislature and timber industry\u2019s attack on the University of Oregon\u2019s environmental law clinic, the Western Environmental Law Center has provided pro bono legal services to hundreds of conservation groups and individuals.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Photo Credits&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;10&#8243; header_font_size=&#8221;40px&#8221; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; header_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;off|phone&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<span style=\"color: #333333;\"><em>Photo by BLM.<br \/>\n<\/em><\/span><br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our History Watch our short film commemorating WELC&#8217;s 20 years (1993-2013) defending the West!

A unique, and critical provision of these laws was the right for everyday people to enforce them against violators.<br \/><br \/>Out West in 1976, two environmental law professors at the University of Oregon, Mike Axline and John Bonine, added a clinical program to the school\u2019s curriculum. They used these laws and the citizen suit provision to provide free legal representation to grassroots conservation organizations across the American West. By the early 1980s, the clinic was stopping Air Force bomber flights over ranches and wilderness areas, forcing industry to disclose toxic chemicals in household products, and forcing polluters to comply with the law.<br \/><br \/>However, the clinic's relationship with the University of Oregon was forever changed in 1987 when its law students, together with the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund, challenged Oregon timber sales to protect the endangered northern spotted owl.<br \/><br \/>In response, the timber industry launched an unprecedented attack on the University of Oregon Law School\u2019s academic freedom. Through industry allies in the Oregon legislature, a resolution was introduced to close down not just the environmental clinic, but the entire law school, if the clinic was not disbanded. <br \/><br \/>In 1993, the environmental law clinic voluntarily moved off campus and became the Western Environmental Law Center. At the time, Professor Bonine warned industry to be careful what it wished for; his words were prophetic.<br \/><br \/>The Western Environmental Law Center\u2019s seven-year litigation over the fate of the endangered spotted owl and the Pacific Northwest\u2019s ancient forests set a new precedent for environmental protection. By advocating for national forest management based on the unique needs of a bioregion, rather than one-size-fits-all management, the Western Environmental Law Center instigated the creation of the groundbreaking Northwest Forest Plan \u2013 the first regional ecosystem-based management plan in the nation.<br \/><br \/>Since 1993, WELC has expanded it\u2019s offices across the West, first to New Mexico and then to Montana and Washington. From the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, we\u2019ve accomplished many victories for the American West\u2019s wildlife, wild places, and communities. We have helped bring Mexican wolves back to the Southwest, protected northern spotted owls and the Pacific Northwest\u2019s ancient forests, shielded Canada lynx from trapping, and made the federal government reconsider Endangered Species Act status for wolverines. We have protected free-flowing rivers from the Rio Grande in New Mexico to the Rogue River in Oregon. We helped the Assiniboine and Gros Ventre Tribes fight against gold mines on their ancestral lands in Montana over repeated cyanide spills and we helped numerous other communities fight against toxic discharges from factory farms and industrial polluters, including brokering a historic agreement with Los Alamos National Laboratory to address nuclear and other hazardous waste. We protected the 102,000-acre Valle Vidal in New Mexico from coalbed methane drilling (a form of natural gas development), stopped field burning in Oregon\u2019s Willamette Valley (a practice that caused air pollution and critical health impacts in neighboring communities), and protected clean water from coalmine pollution in Montana. And more victories are on the way. At WELC, we work every day to ensure those who would harm our public lands, our drinking water, wildlife, and communities are held accountable to the law of the land. Without watchdogs like ourselves and our partners, the laws meant to protect our values would be powerless. As we face climate change, our fight toward more resilient natural systems and communities is more important than ever.<br \/><br \/>We have also grown during this time, both in size and in influence.

Our well-established litigation capacity provides us with a strong foundation and the credibility to leverage existing political dynamics in favor of conservation through a powerful combination of litigation, administrative-level legal advocacy, and policy advocacy.\u00a0 <br \/><br \/>Since the Oregon legislature and timber industry\u2019s attack on the clinic, literally hundreds of conservation groups and Western people have received top-notch legal assistance, for free, from the Western Environmental Law Center.
