Since our founding in 1979, Washington Wild has been instrumental in the protection of nearly 3 million acres of Wilderness throughout Washington State. By bringing people together from different fields, beliefs, political parties, and other walks of life, we are able to connect with a variety of Conservation Voices in defense of a wild and green Washington for generations to come.
