Wild South supports communities that love their shared lands!  Without these lands few of us would have access to the experiences Nature provides.  These places can be preserved if we work together!

Get in the woods however you can. When our kids were small, getting out at all was a challenge.  Now it’s a little easier, and we clean up not only after ourselves but after others too.  I know that every time I’ve enjoyed the outdoors it was because someone was there before me to protect and care for the place.

More than ever before our public lands exist on the efforts of volunteers and citizen scientists.  These invested communities can do so much more with your support.  I am continually amazed by all the accomplishments — tons of trash removed, trails kept safe, endangered species protected, and perhaps my favorite: kids in the woods learning to love Nature.
