Why become a Cottonwood Member?
Cottonwood files lawsuits on behalf of our Members and other conservation groups. Our members live, recreate, and study on the front lines of conservation. Cottonwood Members are what allow Cottonwood to boldly protect the West.
Cottonwood Members share Cottonwood’s vision of the future: a world in which our children and grandchildren have clean air to breathe and clean water to drink, have access to pristine wildlands, and can glimpse a free-roaming bison.
Cottonwood Members commit to contributing $10 or more each month to support the pro bono legal work that Cottonwood does to protect the people, forests, water, and wildlife of the American West.

Support Cottonwood’s Work
Cottonwood Members make it possible to take local cases to the highest courts in the country, to make long-lasting impacts on our country’s environmental laws.
“I support Cottonwood because I believe that people, agencies, and businesses must be held accountable for their acts of exploiting public resources. We are fortunate to live in a country where we have powerful environmental laws at our disposal, but we need organizations like Cottonwood to ensure the public has an avenue to ensure compliance with those laws.
