Our campaigns to protect California's wild spaces:
Northwest California
Stretching from Point Reyes to the Oregon border, this land of redwoods, fog, rain, salmon streams, rolling grasslands, and pounding surf is magical. CalWild is working protect up to 363,000 acres of wilderness and important wild rivers like the upper South Fork Trinity River, the Little South Fork Elk River, the Mattole River and its tributaries, and parts of the Upper Eel River Basin.
Central Coast
The Central Coast Heritage Protection Act is the product of years of discussion and negotiation, led by Representative Carbajal, involving business leaders, conservationists, elected officials, ranchers, mountain bikers, and other stakeholders interested in the use and well-being of these iconic lands. Included in the proposed legislation are iconic oak woodlands and chaparral-draped coastal mountains in the Los Padres National Forest and the awe-inspiring Channel Islands.
The Desert
California’s Mojave, Sonoran, and Colorado deserts are among the most unique and ecologically important lands in the world. CalWild is working with its allies to build on the success of the February 2016 designation of three new National Monuments – Sand to Snow, Castle Mountains, and Mojave Trails – in preserving spectacular desert lands and boosting the local economy. We are also working to make sure that renewable energy development and desert protection coexist.
Sierra Forests
The Sierra Nevada is an iconic, contrasting region of high peaks and desert, rich conifer forests, oak woodlands, chaparral ecosystems, alpine lakes, and free flowing rivers. CalWild is engaged in the Forest Service’s review of National Forests Land and Resource Management Plans is the most immediate opportunity to potentially preserve 1.4 million acres of new wilderness and more than 800 miles of wild & scenic rivers.
