Celebrating its five-year anniversary, the Campaign for America's Wilderness works to protect the nation's remaining wild lands to ensure an enduring legacy of wilderness for future generations. We join with state and local partners to raise public awareness of our special wild lands and to secure dependable, permanent protection for wild lands administered by the U.S. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, and other federal agencies. Since the Campaign was launched in 2002, Congress has added or expanded 74 wilderness areas across nine state -- boosting the National Wilderness Preservation System by 2.4 million acres.

Our work includes campaign planning and implementation, strategically placed resources for opinion research, communications and public education initiatives, grassroots organizing, electronic outreach, leadership training, and advocacy. Our staff, a highly skilled group of 14 professionals, has decades of leadership experience in every aspect of wilderness preservation. Members of our team have played key roles in the passage of every major piece of wilderness legislation in the last 35 years.

We work to help Americans become involved and effective in our nation's democratic process -- helping citizens successfully win preservation of the special wilderness areas they know and love.
