This picture was sent to us by amazing outdoor photographer and wilderness supporter Michael E. Gordon (visit his website: http://www.michael-gordon.com/ ). Michael's WILD sticker grew its wild tiger-stripes traveling a dusty road on the back of his truck, en route to a wilderness excursion in the Utah Canyon lands.

Doug Scott, the Campaign's Policy Director, and one of the nation's leading wilderness historians, has been on the move talking about his new book, Our Wilderness: America's Common Ground. Speaking to groups about the history of the wilderness movement and sharing his photographic tribute to America’s amazing wild places, Doug takes questions, shares stories and brings to life the message of his book — the need to protect our last best wild lands for future generations to use and enjoy.

Members of the Public Lands and Forests Subcommittee (Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee) heard testimony today on The El Rio Grande del Norte National Conservation Area Establishment Act (S.874) which will protect public land in northern New Mexico.

Representative Peter DeFazio (D-OR) and Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR)  today introduced a measure to permanently  protect nearly 30,000 acres of Oregon's prized Devil's Staircase area as wilderness.  Devil's Staircase is located on Wassen Creek in Oregon's Coast Range between the Smith and Umpqua Rivers, and is considered  by some  to be the most remote location in the entire state.  This "staircase" of waterfalls with plunge pools carved into the sandstone is a spectacular site, and  well  worth the effort to experience it.
