Our Wild America

Our Wild America carries on the Sierra Club's long legacy of protecting America's public lands and special places. We believe these lands should be held for and by everyone, providing opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors, and come together to share experiences. Our work reaches from the most untouched national forests and vast western landscapes to the urban parks just down the street.

With the Our Wild America campaign, the Sierra Club is doubling down in the fight to preserve our wild heritage in the face of threats from fossil fuel extraction and climate disruption. Our Wild America embodies the Sierra Club’s motto of “explore, enjoy and protect,” working to increase access to the outdoors; to protect our lands, water and wildlife; and to keep fossil fuels in the ground.
