The
Wilderness Land Trust is a small, highly specialized nonprofit
organization established to buy and protect wilderness land.
We are not opposed to private development. We just don’t
think it belongs in the wilderness, where wildlife, clean
air and water, and the beauty and solitude to be found in
nature are meant to prevail.
OUR MISSION
To acquire private lands (inholdings) in current and proposed
wilderness areas from willing sellers and to transfer them
to public ownership, so that all generations of Americans
will enjoy an enduring resource of wilderness.
