New Aims --- New Allies
The Western Wilderness Conference 2010 will take place April 8 – 11, 2010, at the University of California, Berkeley, California.
Save the date now! For anyone who cares about the wild places of the West—this is one event not to miss!
Although the event will take place in California’s San Francisco Bay Area, wilderness organizations and advocates from all twelve western states, including Alaska, are involved, and wild lands advocates from all those states are enthusiastically invited to participate in this grand event.
Who’s invited: long-time wilderness advocates, both professionals and volunteers, as well as new advocates; Native American leaders, academic and agency personnel, outings leaders, individuals, representatives of organizations working on quiet recreation and on varied types of land-preservation efforts, decision makers at different levels of government. We will conduct special outreach to attract college students and members of minority communities and organizations, such as National Hispanic Environmental Council.
Where will they come from: geographic focus is California, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Wyoming, with outreach as well to Western Canada and Mexico.
