Natural objects of beauty or interest, such as antlers, petrified wood, or colored rocks, enhance the experience of an outdoor area and should be left for others to enjoy a sense of discovery.
Admire it. Appreciate it. Then leave it be.

Fall is backcountry season—and it’s busier than ever. Increased use means increased risk to fragile ecosystems.

The Fall is migration + preparation season for many species. Birds are heading south, bears are bulking up, elk are bugling.

Our research shows human disturbance impacts wildlife survival. The solution? Give them space.

ACTION ALERT: 45 million acres of our wild National Forests are at risk.

The USDA has announced plans to roll back the Roadless Rule, which protects thousands of miles of trails, rivers, climbing routes, and mountain biking.

This is our moment to speak up. zurl.co/qtuUV
