Western Energy Project (A project of the Resources Legacy Fund)

The Western Energy Project (WEP) is a project of Resources Legacy Fund (RLF). Resources Legacy Fund is a 501(c)(3) public charity that helps philanthropic institutions and individuals catalyze the lasting conservation of natural resources. WEP works to protect our treasured landscapes in the American West by ensuring that any development of oil and gas from our federal public lands is done in a responsible manner. We support the preservation of ecologically and culturally important areas, the adoption of common-sense protections for our water, air, land, and wildlife, and the safeguarding of opportunities for Americans to enjoy our public lands. WEP works closely with a number of partner organizations as we seek to protect these places that are so integral to current and future generations who seek a variety of experiences that only our western public lands can provide.
