Mission DescriptionThe Wilderness Society is the leading American conservation organization working to protect wild places within our nations public lands -- the 618 million acres collectively owned by the American people and managed by our government. From well-known icons to hidden gems, these wildlands provide us all with clean air and water; abundant wildlife; havens for recreation, learning, and solitude; and a foundation for a healthy planet. They are also important sources of renewable energy and vital natural resources which must be managed wisely. Since its founding in 1935, The Wilderness Society has led the effort to permanently protect as wilderness 110 million acres in 44 states, from rich hardwood forests in the east, stunning deserts in the southwest, and snowcapped peaks in the Rockies to old-growth forests in the Pacific Northwest and tundra in Alaska. From the revolutionary 1964 Wilderness Act to the landmark 2009 bill which permanently protected more than two million acres of wildernesMissionDescription

Descriptionconservation projects THE WILDERNESS SOCIETY IS OPERATING IN A TIME OF TREMENDOUS CHANGE, AND RARELY HAVE THE STAKES BEEN HIGHER FOR OUR NATION'S NATURAL LEGACY. AMERICA'S PUBLIC LANDS MAY SEEM VAST, BUT THEY'RE NOT LIMITLESS, AND MANY ARE THREATENED. THIS PAST CONGRESS WAS THE FIRST IN OVER 40 YEARS TO ADJOURN WITHOUT PROTECTING AN ACRE OF WILDERNESS. FURTHER CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE INCREASING DEMANDS FOR ENERGY DEVELOPMENT ARE CREATING CHALLENGES FOR PROTECTING AMERICA'S REMAINING WILD LANDS. THE WILDERNESS SOCIETY HAS A DEEP HISTORY OF PROTECTING THE WILDEST OF OUR PUBLIC LANDS; WE'VE LED ON NEARLY EVERY MAJOR PUBLIC LANDS DECISION OF THE PAST CENTURY, FROM THE 1964 WILDERNESS ACT, RESULTING IN 110 MILLION ACRES OF TRUE WILDERNESS, TO THE PASSAGE OF THE OMNIBUS PUBLIC LANDS BILL OF 2009. THIS PAST SPRING, WE WELCOMED JAMIE WILLIAMS TO THE WILDERNESS SOCIETY AS OUR NEW PRESIDENT. HAVING WORKED FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS WITH THE NATURE CONSERVANCY, WHERE HE LED ITS MONTANA PROGRAM, LANDSCAPE CONSERVATION FOR NORTH AMERICA AND YAMPA RIVER WORK, JAMIE HELPED DEVELOP THE LARGE-LANDSCAPE FOCUS WITHIN THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION'S AMERICA'S GREAT OUTDOORS INITIATIVE AND SPEARHEADED CRITICAL EFFORTS TO SECURE CONSERVATION FUNDING IN CONGRESS FOR PLACES LIKE MONTANA'S BLACKFOOT VALLEY. A FORMER NOLS INSTRUCTOR AND WHITEWATER RIVER GUIDE, JAMIE BROUGHT A WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE TO THE WILDERNESS SOCIETY. TOGETHER WE ARE MEETING THE CHALLENGES OF TODAY-BELOW ARE SOME SNAPSHOTS OF OUR CONSERVATION ACCOMPLISHMENTS OVER THE PAST YEAR: FORT ORD AND CHIMNEY ROCK NATIONAL MONUMENTS - RESPONDING TO GRASSROOTS CALLS FOR THE PROTECTION OF PRICELESS HISTORIC AND CULTURAL TREASURES AND THEIR SURROUNDING LANDS, PRESIDENT OBAMA USED HIS AUTHORITY UNDER THE ANTIQUITIES ACT AND DESIGNATED TWO NEW NATIONAL MONUMENTS ENCOMPASSING EXTENSIVE SURROUNDING WILDLANDS. FORT ORD, A HISTORIC ARMY BASE, CONTAINS SOME OF THE LAST UNDEVELOPED NATURAL LANDS ON CALIFORNIA'S MONTEREY PENINSULA. CHIMNEY ROCK, COVERING 4,700 ACRES IN THE SAN JUAN NATIONAL FOREST IN COLORADO, HOLDS RUINS OF THOUSAND-YEAR-OLD STRUCTURES BUILT BY THE ANCESTORS OF MODERN PUEBLOAN INDIANS. THE ANTIQUITIES ACT ALLOWS THE PRESIDENT TO PROTECT AMERICA'S SPECIAL PLACES, AND THE NEW MONUMENTS WERE UNDERPINNED BY DIVERSE AND BIPARTISAN LOCAL SUPPORT, ORGANIZED IN SEVERAL INSTANCES WITH HELP FROM THE WILDERNESS SOCIETY. WESTERN ARCTIC RESERVE, ALASKA - IN DECEMBER, THE BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT HEEDED THE WILDERNESS SOCIETY'S SOUND SCIENCE WHEN IT ANNOUNCED THAT IT WOULD PROTECT 11 MILLION ACRES - FIVE TIMES THE SIZE OF YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK - IN THE RESERVE, INCLUDING CRITICAL CARIBOU HABITAT AND BIRD NESTING AREAS LIKE TESHEKPUK LAKE AND THE UTUKOK UPLANDS. THE MANAGEMENT PLAN, THE FIRST COMPLETED SINCE BLM TOOK OVER MANAGEMENT OF THE NATIONAL PETROLEUM RESERVE-ALASKA IN THE 1970S, ALLOWS FOR OIL DEVELOPMENT IN AREAS LESS IMPORTANT TO WILDLIFE. TOGETHER WITH THE BLM, THE STATE OF ALASKA, CONOCOPHILLIPS, THE NORTH SLOPE BOROUGH AND AUDUBON ALASKA, THE WILDERNESS SOCIETY SPENT SEVERAL YEARS GATHERING AND ASSEMBLING SCIENTIFIC DATA THAT HELPED DECISION-MAKERS UNDERSTAND HOW WILDLIFE USE SOME OF THE RESERVE'S MOST IMPORTANT AREAS. UPPER HOBACK RIVER BASIN, WYOMING - AFTER A SEVEN-YEAR STRUGGLE, THE WILDERNESS SOCIETY HELPED WYOMING CITIZENS SAVE THIS WILD PART OF THE WYOMING RANGE, IN THE SOUTHERN REACHES OF THE GREATER YELLOWSTONE ECOSYSTEM, FROM IMMINENT NATURAL GAS FRACKING AND DEVELOPMENT. AS PART OF A STRONG CONSERVATION COALITION, WE CREATED THE ENVIRONMENT FOR A HISTORIC AGREEMENT FOR THE GAS LEASES TO BE BOUGHT OUT BY OUR CONSERVATION PARTNER, THE TRUST FOR PUBLIC LAND, AND THEN WE HELPED RAISE MORE THAN $8 MILLION TO FUND THE LEASE BUY-OUT BEFORE THE DECEMBER 31 DEADLINE. ROADLESS AREA CONSERVATION RULE - A SERIES OF LEGAL CHALLENGES INTENDED TO UNDO THE ROADLESS RULE WAS HALTED FOR GOOD WHEN THE U.S. SUPREME COURT DECIDED NOT TO HEAR THE FINAL APPEAL. THE ROADLESS RULE, APPROVED BY PRESIDENT CLINTON IN 2001 TO PROTECT LARGE BLOCKS OF ROADLESS FOREST, WILL KEEP 49 MILLION ACRES OF NATIONAL FOREST LAND FROM WASHINGTON STATE TO NORTH CAROLINA WILD AND UNBROKEN WHILE CONTINUING TO GIVE AMERICANS ACCESS TO SOME OF THE COUNTRY'S BEST HUNTING, FISHING, HIKING AND OTHER RECREATION AREAS. FOR MORE THAN A DECADE, THE WILDERNESS SOCIETY HAS BEEN A LEADER IN THE CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT ROADLESS AREAS AND UPHOLD THE ROADLESS RULE. STEPHEN MATHER WILDERNESS, WASHINGTON - IN SEPTEMBER, 3,559 ACRES KNOWN AS THUNDER CREEK VALLEY WERE ADDED TO THE STEPHEN MATHER WILDERNESS IN THE NORTH CASCADES NATIONAL PARK COMPLEX. WHEN STEPHEN MATHER WAS DESIGNATED A WILDERNESS AREA BY CONGRESS THROUGH THE WASHINGTON PARKS WILDERNESS ACT OF 1988, IT CAME WITH THE PROVISION THAT OTHER ADJACENT LANDS COULD BE ADDED TO IT IN FUTURE. LAST YEAR, AFTER SEATTLE CITY LIGHT ABANDONED ITS ONE-TIME PLANS TO DEVELOP THUNDER CREEK FOR HYDROPOWER PRODUCTION, THE DOOR WAS OPENED FOR FORMER INTERIOR SECRETARY KEN SALAZAR TO MAKE THIS ADMINISTRATIVE DESIGNATION PROTECTING THUNDER CREEK VALLEY, WITH FULL WILDERNESS SOCIETY ENCOURAGEMENT. WILDERNESS BILLS IN THE BALANCE - MORE THAN 25 WILDERNESS BILLS, MANY CRAFTED WITH THE WILDERNESS SOCIETY AND LOCAL SUPPORT, REMAINED BEFORE CONGRESS IN 2012, BUT LEGISLATORS FAILED TO ACT ON ANY OF THEM. FROM THE MAINE COASTAL ISLANDS WILDERNESS ACT, TO THE CENTRAL IDAHO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND RECREATION ACT, TO THE COLUMBINE-HONDO WILDERNESS ACT IN NEW MEXICO, MANY OF THESE BILLS CARRY BIPARTISAN SUPPORT, BUT THEY STILL COULD NOT GENERATE CONGRESSIONAL ACTION. THE 112TH CONGRESS BECAME THE FIRST IN MORE THAN 40 YEARS THAT FAILED TO PROTECT A SINGLE WILDERNESS AREA. BLM'S SOLAR PLAN - IN SEPTEMBER, CULMINATING THREE YEARS OF WORK, THE BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT RELEASED ITS SOLAR PROGRAMMATIC ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT, THE FIRST-EVER ROADMAP FOR LARGE-SCALE SOLAR ENERGY DEVELOPMENT ON BLM LANDS IN ARIZONA, CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, NEVADA, NEW MEXICO AND UTAH. THE WILDERNESS SOCIETY, PARTICULARLY OUR 2011 "SMART SOLAR" REPORT, WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING SET THE PLAN THAT WILL GUIDE SOLAR ENERGY DEVELOPMENT TOWARD 300,000 ACRES OF LOW-CONFLICT ZONES ON PUBLIC LANDS AND AWAY FROM MORE THAN 78 MILLION ACRES OF CULTURALLY AND ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS. THE NEW ROADMAP IS A WIN FOR BOTH CLEAN ENERGY AND WILDLANDS PROTECTION. PINNACLES NATIONAL PARK, CALIFORNIA - PINNACLES NATIONAL MONUMENT, NEAR SOLEDAD IN CENTRAL CALIFORNIA, WAS UPGRADED TO BECOME THE NATION'S 59TH NATIONAL PARK AFTER THE SENATE PASSED BIPARTISAN LEGISLATION CHAMPIONED BY REPRESENTATIVE SAM FARR AND SENATOR BARBARA BOXER. SINCE 2003, THE MONUMENT, WHICH WAS CREATED BY PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT IN 1908, HAS BEEN PART OF THE CALIFORNIA CONDOR RECOVERY PROGRAM, HARBORING 30 OF THE ENDANGERED BIRDS. NAMED FOR THE FINGERLIKE VOLCANIC SPIRES AND CRAGS THAT TOWER ABOVE OAK SAVANNAS AND CHAPARRAL, PINNACLES IS HOME TO BOBCATS, BATS, THREATENED SALAMANDERS AND THE CALIFORNIA RED-LEGGED FROG. WHILE THE NATIONAL PARK DESIGNATION PASSED CONGRESS, ITS PROPOSED WILDERNESS PROTECTIONS DID NOT. WEST-WIDE ENERGY CORRIDORS - THREE YEARS AFTER THE WILDERNESS SOCIETY AND MORE THAN A DOZEN CONSERVATION GROUPS AND ONE COLORADO COUNTY FILED A LAWSUIT CHALLENGING A PLAN THAT WOULD HAVE PLACED TRANSMISSION LINES AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE THROUGH IMPORTANT WILDLANDS ACROSS THE WEST, A LEGAL AGREEMENT WAS FILED IN FEDERAL COURT IN SAN FRANCISCO REQUIRING THE PLAN'S REVISION. THE BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT, U.S. FOREST SERVICE AND DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY, WORKING WITH CONSERVATIONISTS AND COUNTY OFFICIALS, WILL REVISE THE WEST-WIDE ENERGY CORRIDORS PLAN TO FACILITATE RENEWABLE ENERGY AND AVOID ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE AREAS, PREVENTING A WEB OF PIPELINES AND POWER LINES FROM BEING BUILT AND GUIDING DEVELOPMENT TO MORE APPROPRIATE LANDS THAT ALSO SUPPORT CLEAN ENERGY. CLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATION - IN CALIFORNIA'S SIERRA NEVADA, MONTANA, IDAHO AND THE NORTHERN FOREST OF MAINE AND NEW HAMPSHIRE, THE WILDERNESS SOCIETY HAS BEEN GATHERING AND ANALYZING SCIENTIFIC DATA ON ECOSYSTEM CHANGE AND WILDLIFE HABITAT NEEDS NECESSARY TO HELP OUR WILD FORESTS ADAPT TO A CHANGING CLIMATE. WE CAN THEN TARGET THOSE TRACTS MOST VITAL TO RECONNECT FRAGMENTED FOREST. IN MAINE, THIS WORK HAS HELPED US LEAD THE CAMPAIGN FOR A PROPOSED NEW NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, THE NATION'S FIRST THAT WILL BE DESIGNED AND MANAGED EXPLICITLY TO HELP PLANT AND ANIMAL SPECIES ADAPT TO CLIMATE CHANGE. GREAT OUTDOORS WEEK - DURING GREAT OUTDOORS AMERICA WEEK (GO AMERICA WEEK) IN JUNE, WE SAW A DIVERSE GROUP OF OVER 200 ADVOCATES AND OUTDOOR INDUSTRY COMMUNITY MEMBERS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY COME TO WASHINGTON TO PARTICIPATE IN MORE THAN 300 MEETINGS WITH LAWMAKERS AND ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS AND LOBBY FOR THE CONSERVATION OF AMERICA'S PUBLIC LANDS. GO AMERICA WEEK ALSO HIGHLIGHTED THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR PUBLIC LANDS TO TODAY'S YOUTH-THE EVENT HOSTED OVER 100 YOUTH PARTICIPANTS, HOSTED BOTH A FULL DAY SERVICE PROJECT WDescription

Descriptionpublic education THE WILDERNESS SOCIETY IS THE LEADING AMERICAN CONSERVATION ORGANIZATION WORKING TO PROTECT WILD PLACES WITHIN OUR NATION'S PUBLIC LANDS -- THE 618 MILLION ACRES COLLECTIVELY OWNED BY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND MANAGED BY OUR GOVERNMENT. FROM WELL-KNOWN ICONS TO HIDDEN GEMS, THESE WILDLANDS PROVIDE US ALL WITH CLEAN AIR AND WATER; ABUNDANT WILDLIFE; HAVENS FOR RECREATION, LEARNING, AND SOLITUDE; AND A FOUNDATION FOR A HEALTHY PLANET.

TODAY, WITH MORE THAN 500,000 ACTIVE MEMBERS AND SUPPORTERS, TWS CONTINUES ITS VITAL MISSION TO PROTECT WILDERNESS AND INSPIRE AMERICANS TO CARE FOR OUR WILD PLACES. BY USING ONLINE AND TRADITIONAL OUTREACH, WE'VE BEEN GROWING OUR BASE OF SUPPORT. THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY OF OUR ACTIVITIES HIGHLIGHTS SOME OF THIS WORK. BUILDING SUPPORT THROUGH DIGITAL CHANNELS - THIS WAS A BIG YEAR FOR DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS AT THE WILDERNESS SOCIETY. HIGHLIGHTING THE YEAR WAS THE LAUNCH OF THE COMPLETELY OVERHAULED WEB SITE IN AUGUST 2012. THIS LAUNCH AFFORDED THE ORGANIZATION TO REFOCUS ITS EXTERNAL DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS ON PROVIDING OUTREACH FOR ONLINE DONATIONS, ADVOCACY AND GENERAL NEWS RELATED TO OUR PROGRAMS. IT FEATURES A SIMPLE CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM THAT STREAMLINES PUBLISHING AND ALLOWS RAPID RESPONSES AND ITERATIONS FOR BREAKING NEWS AND INFORMATION. ENHANCEMENT CONTINUED ON THE SITE INTO THE WINTER WITH AN INCREASE OF DIGITAL STORYTELLING TECHNIQUES INCLUDING INTERACTIVE MAPS, TIMELINES, PHOTO GALLERIES AND VIDEOS. ADDITIONALLY, WORK HAS BEGUN ON MAKING THE SITE WORK ACROSS ALL PLATFORMS- COMPUTER, TABLET AND MOBILE DEVICES FOR AN OPTIMIZED EXPERIENCE. ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA FRONT, OUR FACEBOOK FAN BASE GREW TO OVER 34,000 FANS AS WE CONTINUE TO ENGAGE THIS GROWING AUDIENCE AND DYNAMIC PLATFORM. OUR TWITTER FOLLOWING INCREASED TO OVER 21,000 FOLLOWERS, AS DID THE FREQUENCY OF OUR TWEETS AS THIS EXPANDING OUTLET REACHES NEW AUDIENCES, INCLUDING MANY JOURNALISTS AND POLICY MAKERS. LOOK FOR THE DIGITAL TEAM TO EXPAND INTO INSTAGRAM AND PINTEREST IN THE COMING MONTHS IN THE EVER EXPANDING QUEST TO REACH OUR CONSTITUENTS. CONTINUING TO BOLSTER OUR ADVOCACY EFFORTS, THE DIGITAL TEAM CONTINUES TO USE ONLINE ADVOCACY TO SEND LETTERS TO MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, THE PRESIDENT AND OTHER DECISION-MAKERS IN ORDER TO GIVE THE PEOPLE A VOICE ON IMPORTANT LEGISLATION. MANY CAMPAIGNS CREDIT THE DIGITAL OUTREACH FOR SWAYING POLICYMAKERS. THE WILD DAYS OF SUMMER - THE WILDERNESS SOCIETY LAUNCHED AN INTEGRATED MARKETING CAMPAIGN CALLED THE WILD DAYS OF SUMMER THAT PROMOTED DIFFERENT WILDERNESS EXPERIENCES USING RADIO PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS, EMAILS, FACEBOOK AND TWITTER OUTREACH, ONLINE ENGAGEMENTS AND BLOG OUTREACH. THE CAMPAIGN INCLUDED A DONATED MILLION DOLLAR RADIO ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN THAT RAN ON ALL 111 ENTERCOM STATIONS. THE SPOTS FEATURED BETTY WHITE, DAVE MATTHEWS AND WENDIE MALICK URGING AMERICANS TO JOIN WITH THE WILDERNESS SOCIETY TO CHERISH AND PROTECT WILDERNESS. THE WILD DAYS OF SUMMER MARKETING CAMPAIGN WON A 2012 GOLD MARCOM AWARD OUT OF A FIELD OF 6,000 ENTRIES. SPONSORED BY THE ASSOCIATION OF MARKETING AND COMMUNICATION PROFESSIONALS, THE AWARD RECOGNIZES OUTSTANDING CREATIVE ACHIEVEMENTS-THE LARGEST COMPETITION OF ITS KIND IN THE WORLD. THE WILD DAYS OF SUMMER DROVE NEARLY 300,000 PEOPLE TO OUR WEBSITE TO LEARN ABOUT OUR WORK. ENGAGING CELEBRITIES TO GIVE VOICE TO WILDERNESS - OUR CELEBRITY SUPPORTERS CONTINUE TO GIVE VOICE TO OUR CONSERVATION EFFORTS, AND ENCOURAGE INDIVIDUALS TO JOIN THE WILDERNESS SOCIETY. THE WILDERNESS SOCIETY WAS A MAIN NON-PROFIT PARTNER ON THE DAVE MATTHEWS BAND TOUR; WE HAD A BOOTH AT 44 SHOWS DURING THE TOUR, AND GAINED OVER 1,300 NEW WILDERNESS SOCIETY SUPPORTERS. IN ADDITION TO THE WILD DAYS OF SUMMER RADIO SPOTS, WE PRODUCED :30 PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS FEATURING BETTY WHITE AND WENDIE MALICK WHICH RAN ON HULU, TV LAND AND THROUGH MULTIPLE MEDIA OUTLETS.
