Reinvigorating a diverse, powerful wilderness movement
From towering forests to remote islands, shortgrass prairies, desert canyons, and vast wetlands, America’s wilderness areas are true national treasures.
The National Wilderness Coalition believes preserving and protecting these public lands is essential for the well-being of present and future generations, local economies, irreplaceable ecosystems, and our shared heritage.
