California Wilderness Coalition

The California Wilderness Coalition "was founded in 1976 by five dedicated conservationists in Davis. Our first campaign organized rural residents of Colusa, Glenn, and Lake Counties in support of the protection of Snow Mountain in California’s north coast region. Since then, CWC has helped to permanently preserve more than 13 million acres of wilderness, and we have successfully defended other special places from destructive logging, mining, and road-building."

The 2010 Western Wilderness Conference "took place from April 8-11th at UC Berkeley’s Martin Luther King Jr. Student Center, and was sponsored by the California Wilderness Coalition and numerous other organizations from all thirteen western states. With over 550 people in attendance, including more than 100 presenters, the conference was a unique opportunity for conservationists to share their campaign experiences, inspire each other, discuss new research, and learn more effective strategies for fundraising and grassroots organizing."
