Wyoming Wilderness Association

Volunteer Opportunities:

The Sheridan office is the communications center for WWA. Several times a year the office prints and mails to our members, supporters, and the community critcal information. The effort requires volunteer help that is incredibly appreciated. The mailings are actually a fun activity with food and the opportunity to meet like-minded folks from across the community.

The Sheridan office holds fund-raising and educational events through the year to support awareness and our programs throughout Wyoming for wilderness and our wild places.

 

 

The Wyoming Wilderness Association (WWA) is a non-governmental, not-for-profit organization first created in 1979 by a group of wilderness advocates and outdoors people who envisioned the Wyoming Wilderness Act.

In the 1970's and 80's, the WWA worked hard to educate and train activists, which ultimately resulted in the passage of the Wyoming Wilderness Act of 1984. The passage of the Wyoming Wilderness Act brought to all Americans the permanent protection of an additional 1.1 million acres of ecologically diverse, wild country. Currently the wilderness system in Wyoming is roughly three million acres. Five million acres of spectacular forest, desert and plains wild land remain unprotected and vulnerable to development.

Wyoming Wilderness Association since 2003 acts on the opportunity to protect additional wild watersheds, intact ecosystems, old growth forests, important wildlife habitat, and wildlife migration corridors - wild landscapes that truly deserve lasting protection as Wilderness. WWA currently maintains offices in Lander, Jackson, Dubois and Sheridan.
