Public Lands Activists Visit DC for Wilderness Week

A group of Sierra Club's public lands activists visited Washington DC September 27-30 as Wilderness Month came to a close. This delegation from all across the United States met with members of Congress during "Wilderness Week". These Sierra Club volunteers lobbied to protect America's wildlife and public lands from the impacts of climate change, creating habitat resiliency where plants, animals, people, and communities are able to survive and thrive on a warmer planet. The group discussed wilderness legislation, the need to pass an oil spill response bill, and the America's Great Outdoors initiative.

In addition, the Wilderness Week delegation met with members to discuss how to repair the damage border walls have done to our wildlands along the Southwest border. For more information about our borderlands campaign, click here.
