While contemplating your gift-giving options this holiday season, consider simple wilderness-related gifts to inspire your loved ones. Gifts like snowshoes, back-country maps, and binoculars make great tools for wilderness exploration. A humorous look at wilderness is available in the Nevada Wilderness Project's 'Wild Men of Wild Nevada' 2008 wall calendar, featuring scenes of Nevada's great activist men in the wild. Lastly, wilderness can be celebrated and pondered anywhere at anytime through the gateway of the following wilderness books:
- A Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold (photo illustrated version available through Aldo Leopold Foundation)
- The Singing Wilderness by Sigurd Olson
- Walden by Henry David Thoreau
- Audubon's Birds of America
- Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder by Richard Louv
- A biography of John Muir, Gifford Pinchot, Sigurd Olson, or another great wilderness hero
