Using science, the law and grassroots activism, WW works to keep the
White River National Forest and nearby BLM lands more or less “as is”
and, where possible, to restore wildness to this nationally important
landscape.
Founded in 1967, the Wilderness Workshop has earned a national
reputation for passionate advocacy, grassroots effectiveness, and
scientific authority.
WW is the only nonprofit organization that’s devoted to protecting
these particular public lands on a full-time basis. No other local group
has the expertise and standing to participate effectively and
consistently in the arcane bureaucratic processes that decide the fate
of these lands; no state or national organization can devote as much
time to our particular area.
We don’t represent any user group; rather, we provide a voice for
nature on our public lands. We’re a community of people who enjoy and
cherish wild places, and believe that wildlands and wildlife should be
protected for their own sake (and for ours).
Although focused on the White River National Forest region, our work
is part of a visionary movement to reconnect wildlife habitats and
“rewild” landscapes on a continental scale. Thus we frequently partner
with other local, state, regional and national groups on projects. CONTINUE
