We Keep the Promise of Wilderness ? by acquiring and transferring private lands to public ownership to complete designated and proposed wilderness areas, or directly protect wilderness values.

These landscapes provide meaning to you and your family, generating stories of adventure, discovery and inspiration. They are special places that you cherish, hopeful for their future and its inhabitants to remain untrammeled, wild and free.

As an organization, we are motivated by the same values as you, a reverence for the land and the complex communities of life it supports. We express this by striving to preserve a rich legacy of protected wilderness through persistent, professional and fair acquisition of private lands that complete the promise of wilderness.

The Wilderness Land Trust is the only national conservation organization solely dedicated to purchasing privately owned lands within designated and proposed wilderness areas to remove land management conflicts stemming from commercial, industrial and residential development.
