Wilderness Ranger Academies
Wilderness field professionals are the boots-on-the-ground task force of wilderness stewardship. They go on to become wilderness managers, administrators, policy makers, and leads. How they conceptualize wilderness character, live in wilderness, and maintain wilderness lands sets the stage not only for wilderness health but for the future of the National Wilderness Preservation System (NWPS).
We work with land management agencies to put on Wilderness Ranger Academies across the country.
