The National Wildlife Federation’s Northern Rockies Natural
Resource Center is involved in cutting-edge litigation and policy
formation at the state, regional and national levels. Students will be supervised
by Tom France of the National Wildlife Federation in Missoula, but will also
have the opportunity to work with other lawyers active in natural resource
litigation. Students will be involved with issues including forest planning,
grazing, coal bed methane development, hard rock mining, oil and gas leasing,
and endangered species management. NWF has a particular focus on wildlife
conservation and restoration including wolves, prairie dogs, and grizzly
bears. NWF’s wolf work currently includes initiatives in the southern
Rockies and the northeast. In working on these projects, students will have
an opportunity to work with NWF biologists, other NGO’s, and government
officials. Work assignments include brief writing, administrative appeals,
NEPA comments, and legal and factual (scientific and otherwise) research.
