America’s wilderness awaits your discovery! Over 105 million acres of wilderness is protected for you and future generations. Learn what wilderness is, how you benefit from wilderness and explore your role in the preservation of this unique American resource.
This project, a collaborative effort between the federal land management agencies involved with preserving wilderness, strives to connect Americans with their public lands.
