What's Next

ConservationNEXT is a community of people committed to protecting North America’s wild places. It’s the outreach arm of The Conservation Alliance, an organization of outdoor businesses whose collective contributions support grassroots conservation organizations and their efforts to protect wild places where outdoor enthusiasts recreate. Alliance funds have played a key role in protecting rivers, trails, wildlands and climbing areas.

Membership in the Alliance is open to companies representing all aspects of the outdoor industry, including manufacturers, retailers, publishers, mills and sales representatives. The result is a diverse group of businesses whose livelihood depends on protecting our natural environment.

Since its inception in 1989, the Alliance has contributed more than $8 million to grassroots environmental groups. Alliance funding has helped save over 49.5 million acres of wildlands; 28 dams have either been stopped or removed; and the group helped preserve access to more than 17,000 miles of waterways and several climbing areas.

ConservationNEXT focuses on engaging individuals in the conservation efforts funded by The Conservation Alliance, and this website is your primary opportunity to get involved. There are a few key areas to pay attention to as you move around ConservationNEXT.com:
