Wilderness Land Trust

Description

There are many reasons to preserve wilderness. In our 20 year history, we’ve acquired wilderness properties that were threatened with exclusive resort development, road construction, mining, logging and oil and gas drilling. We’ve purchased land in order to provide access to wilderness areas previously closed to the public. And we’ve acquired parcels in order to provide intact habitat and unbroken migration corridors for wildlife, including endangered species.

The Catholic Church had owned the property for over 50 years, and had decided to sell, throwing the tradition and future of Redwood Adventure Camp —a wilderness youth camp for children on the site since 1963—into doubt. The Trust’s purchase preserves the camp experience that is three generations deep, protects endangered steelhead trout habitat, and adds convenient access point to the Elkhorn Ridge Wilderness for non-motorized boaters, hikers and equestrians.

The Wilderness Land Trust is a small, highly specialized nonprofit organization established to buy and protect wilderness land. Since it was founded in 1992, the non-profit organization has preserved 408 parcels comprised of more than 41,000 acres of wilderness inholdings in 89 designated and proposed wilderness areas. The Wilderness Land Trust, a 501(c)(3) organization, has offices in California and Colorado. For more information visit our website www.wildernesslandtrust.org .

As a private, nonprofit organization we are able to act quickly to purchase land with a minimum of red tape. You’ll find our professional staff is responsive to your needs. Our team can help resolve complicated real estate issues such as boundary, title, and access matters. We work with local appraisers, lawyers, contractors and real estate agents. We provide environmental, political and fundraising expertise.
