Program areas at Wilderness Watch

DEFENDING WILDERNESS: This program includes our work to protect and preserve Wilderness areas and the integrity of the Wilderness Act. It includes providing technical and detailed comments on policies, proposals and projects that affect individual Wildernesses or the National Wilderness Preservation System as a whole. It also includes challenging harmful projects by filing administrative appeals, objections, and litigation. The program also includes providing information to governing bodies, like Congress, on the effects to Wilderness from pending legislation.
CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT: This program provides information to our members, supporters, and the general public about issues affecting Wilderness and how to be effective wilderness advocates. It includes our quarterly newsletter, the Wilderness Watcher, regular action alerts and updates, news releases, educational forums, events, webinars, social media, and presentations to student and community groups.
