Our mission is to defend wilderness, protect biodiversity, and restore ecosystems of the Columbia River Basin.

  • Keep public lands in public hands
  • Preserve roadless public forest areas 1,000 acres and larger
  • Advocate for additions to and safeguard the National Wilderness Preservation System
  • Work with groups and individuals across political and ideological boundaries to build strong, sustainable rural and urban communities
