Lands: Mission

The Lands Program works with coalitions of environmental groups in our eight state region to enforce environmental protections and help reform the way our public lands are managed. We work on the frontlines to assist conservationists in their efforts to protect wild lands, native biodiversity, and critical habitats. Our work is directed at limiting the harmful impacts from oil and gas drilling, off-road vehicle use, timber sales, livestock grazing, and other destructive activities. Our efforts have protected huge tracts of forest and desert that provide wildlife habitat, clean air and water, and the opportunity for enjoyment by future generations.

The Lands Program is a key member of the Southern Rockies Conservation Alliance, a coalition of more than 25 groups working to protect the remaining wildlands of the Southern Rockies of Colorado and Wyoming. WRA also is a key participant in coalition efforts to protect the Yellowstone-to-Yukon corridor, red rock Canyon country in Utah, the Owyhee Canyon country of Utah and Nevada, and the Sonoran Desert in Arizona.
