PAST EVENTS
In May 2009, activists from across the country gathered in Utah work together on ways to protect Utah Wilderness. Pictured here is the Canyonlands Field Institute outside Moab, Utah, where the event was held. We camped, ate, talked, sang, hiked, and most importantly bonded with our passion to protect Utah's Red Rock Wilderness.
In March 2009, NJ Wild activists attended wilderness week in Washington, DC to lobby on behalf of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the Tongass National Forest, and the Arctic Ocean. Activists met with staffers in the offices of Scott Garrett, Leonard Lance, John Adler, and Albio Sires. Pictured here are activists with Congressman Albio Sires from the 13th district.
In September 2008, a group of activits met with Congressman Scott Garrett of NJ's 5th District. Garrett, who has shown little support for wilderness protection has voted to prevent the funding of roads in the Tongass National Forest in Alaska. Activist met with him to start a dialogue and create a better understanding of wilderness issues.
