The law is more than just a formal system of rules; it’s a tool for protecting you and our wildlife and bringing justice to those who intend to harm our environment. Under the Public Trust Doctrine, we have the legal leverage needed to ensure both compliance and meaningful restoration of our natural resources. We don’t just identify environmental problems; we use the power of the law to solve them.
