The Western Organization of Resource Councils (WORC) is a regional association of eight grassroots membership organizations dedicated to advancing the vision of a democratic, sustainable, and just society through community action. With a mission to build sustainable environmental and economic communities, WORC strives to strike a balance between economic growth and the preservation of land, water, and air resources.
Through their award-winning High Plains News project, WORC has been actively covering western news, culture, and issues since the early 2000s. This project, which produced special programs like Rural Voices, delves deep into topics affecting the region, featuring the voices and perspectives of grassroots people and addressing issues such as uncontrolled growth, health care, and the impact on wildlife and agriculture.
