The California Wilderness Coalition fights to protect California's wild landscpaes, which provide clean air and water, a home for our wildlife and native plants, and place for spiritual renewal.

Since 1976, through advocacy, legislative action, policy development and public education, we have enlisted the support of citizens, lawmakers, and business leaders to join us.  Supported by our 6,000 members CWC has spearheaded the permanent protection of over 14 million acres of California's public lands.  We defend wild places from ill conceived policy, poor management and exploitative use.   Among our many white papers and publications we produce a quarterly news journal, the Wilderness Record, and wilderness alerts for members and the general public on key conservation policies.

Our Headquarters are located in Oakland California, and we have field offices in Redding and Riverside County.

Project Update

Thank You for Making the Western Wilderness Conference 2010 a Great Success!


Please accept the sincere, ongoing, and rather awed thanks from the Co-Chairs of Western Wilderness Conference 2010, Kristi Davis and Vicky Hoover, and from everyone on the planning committee, for your vital involvement in the conference.

In a most fundamental way, we couldn't have done it without you!  Your assistance in getting the message out to your members gave us the remarkable number of over 550 participants and made our conference known throughout the West.  And the financial support YOU GAVE was absolutely essential in enabling the conference to happen as it did.

With your participation we were able to achieve the goals embodied by our conference theme: New Aims, New Allies!  We offered a vast array of session topics, covering everything from economics to the arts, from Canada to the Mexican border, from the ocean to Capitol Hill.  And we were able to reach an audience that ranged from teenagers to seniors, from residents of Berkeley to Hawaii, from the inner city to the rural countryside and everywhere in between.
