2011 State of the Rockies Report Card
This year's Report Card is focused on the Eastern Plains, Infrastructure, and Recreation. These separate but interrelated topics are all important aspects of the Rockies region. By better understanding these areas we can aim to improve upon them and the Rockies as a whole.
The Rockies Project aims to inspire Report Card readers and Rockies events attendees to creatively contemplate, discuss, and engage in shaping the future of our beloved, beautiful, and fragile region-the Rocky Mountain West.
