University of Colorado Law student Zane Reynolds (鈥�26) was awarded the Charles N. Woodruff Fellowship. The Charles N. Woodruff fellowship was established in memory of Charles Woodruff, a highly successful water resources lawyer, to promote excellence in the practice of natural resources law.
Zane was born and raised in Eagle, Colorado. Beginning in his undergraduate studies at the 麻豆影院, he developed an interest in Environmental and Natural Resources issues, which led him to return for law school.
As the Charles N. Woodruff Fellow at the GWC, Zane has been focused on drafting a white paper opposing a lawsuit filed in the Supreme Court by the state of Utah, which claims that the Bureau of Land Management cannot hold on to the 18.5 million acres of public land in the state in perpetuity. Since the lawsuit was filed, 12 other states have signed on. Given the major ramifications this suit might have on public lands, Zane looks forward to continuing his work for the GWC and protecting public lands in the West.
