75th Anniversary The Wilderness Society Celebrates


Nationwide Successes


Fresh from a major achievement in 2009, The Wilderness Society has not been rest- ing on its laurels in this, its 75th year of striving to protect our nation’s public lands. Following last year’s passage of the largest land conservation bill in decades, per- manently protecting 4 million acres in 11 states, it’s had more than a dozen wilder- ness bills in the works this year. Current campaigns tackle global


warming, fossil fuel drilling in public lands and re-vegetating unused forest roads, as well as wilderness protection. They’re also initiating job programs to restore forests, rivers and grasslands that native species need to adapt to climate change.
