Our campaigns to protect California's wild spaces:
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.
Wild & Scenic Rivers
Much like our incredibly diverse landscapes, California’s wildest rivers range from the seasonal flows of the Amargosa River in the Mojave Desert to the mighty Klamath River watershed that cuts across Northern California. CalWild has been involved in the protection of virtually every National Wild & Scenic River in California since 1984. With over 2,000 miles already designated, we’re aiming to grow that inventory to 6,000 miles by 2028.
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 millions of acres of new wilderness and 1,000+ miles of wild & scenic rivers.
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 363,000 acres of wilderness and 480 miles of important wild rivers like the upper South Fork Trinity River, the Little South Fork Elk River, the Mattole River and tributaries, and parts of the Upper Eel River Basin.
