Is your Wilderness Becoming Less Wild?
You've seen it: trailheads packed two miles down the road, campsites closed indefinitely, trails eroding into gullies, invasive plants choking out native wildflowers. This is wilderness degradation.
Without active management, our precious wildlands risk irreversible degradation. That's where SWS takes a stand. For 20 years, we've worked with land management agencies and researchers to safeguard 350+ wilderness areas, delivering essential monitoring, training, and expertise that empower effective stewardship of these remarkable natural treasures.
Join Us In Protecting Wild Places
Together, we can ensure wilderness areas remain truly wild—resilient to pressure, accessible to everyone, and protected for generations to come. Your donation today funds active stewardship projects across the country: managing wilderness degradation before they become permanent scars.
