Mission

Founded in 1935 by conservation visionaries, the wilderness society protects wilderness and unites people to protect america's wild public lands. We work to guide energy development to the right places and ensure that public lands contribute to climate solutions. We work to ensure that all people can access and share the benefits of the outdoors, from the urban to the wild. In 1964, we led the effort to establish the national wilderness preservation system, which has now grown to 109 million acres of permanently protected wildlands that preserve america's natural heritage. Federal public lands, which belong to all americans, face growing threats. Those acres and millions more require action to conserve their natural character. See www.wilderness.org.
