The State Environmental Resource Center (SERC) researches state environmental policies and assembles information and tools to help legislators make important decisions on key environmental issues. SERC identifies the most innovative and effective state policies, and exposes anti-environmental legislative trends. Through a comprehensive web site, free weekly e-mail newsletter, and direct access to knowledgeable staff members, SERC shares its findings with legislators, groups, and concerned citizens across the nation.

SERC stays on top of pressing environmental issues involving children’s health, clean energy, smart growth, clean air and water, wildlife, and wetlands.

Included in this web site are the tools necessary to implement great environmental ideas and policies in your state, including sample bills, talking points, press clips, fact packs, research, and other background information.

SERC is a project of Defenders of Wildlife. We would like to thank the Natural Resources Defense Council who provided their expertise on much of the content in our Policy Issues Packages.

SERC is made possible by people and organizations who care about defending our environment. We would like to give special thanks to the following for their generous support:
