WLT Board Member Doug Scott Publishes "Our Wilderness: America's Common Ground"

From the vast open spaces of Alaska to New Mexico's colorful deserts to the deep quiet forests of West Virginia, this book celebrates our amazing wild treasures and the people who have helped ensure that these places will stay as they are for our grandchildren and theirs. Readers will learn how and why The Wilderness Act was passed 45 years ago, and how people from all backgrounds and regions of the country are continuing to use this tool to protect more of the wild places they love.

Doug Scott is Manager, Policy and Research, for Campaign for America’s Wilderness. One of the nation's leading historians on our country's wilderness movement, Scott has been involved in every major wilderness bill passed in the last four decades, including the recent omnibus public lands bill which added more than two million acres of wilderness to the national wilderness preservation system across nine states.
