FREE's mission is to attract and work with conservationists, conservatives and classical liberals who treasure responsible liberty, sustainable ecology and modest prosperity.

FREE led the creation of the New Resource Economics. People using this approach focus on scientific information and incentives to act responsibly on that information. Doing so fosters the confluence of liberty, ecology, and prosperity. If we arranged these values in a Venn diagram, we want to increase the overlap.

We occasionally host policy salons, usually at the FREE office on our Gallatin Gateway ranch. We flip the natural resource paradigm in classical liberal directions and away from command-and-control. We believe the road to ecological sustainability lies in three types of entrepreneurship; environmental, social, and commercial. Government's most constructive role is to monitor and protect things people value, not manage resources and set values.

Romance, not sludge, is our arena of environmental policy. Hence we are interested in protecting and preserving parks, wildlife and wildlands, range, and water. FREE's comfortable home is in Greater Yellowstone and surrounds. We love the area and exercise good stewardship over it.

FREE'S mission is to imagine and implement an economic way of thinking that is consistent with a society of free and responsible individuals. Our nation’s Founders envisioned social cooperation and value creation fostered through the rule of law, secure property rights, and the market process, not centralized command and control. FREE’s seminars target important opinion leaders in public policy arenas, most notably regarding environmental issues. FREE’s focus is on the broad conjunction of economics, ethics, and the natural and human environment. Using basic concepts from economics, science, and risk analysis, we explain how the application of these analytic tools can foster sound environmental and other public policies and advance social well-being.
