Our Wilderness

This photographic tribute examines what wilderness really means to individual Americans and why we should remain vigilant in our protection of these lands. Exploring the underpinnings of the preservation movement from all angles – environmental, educational, economic, and spiritual – Our Wilderness reminds us why these areas are truly America’s common ground and why we must protect them for future generations.

Doug Scott is policy director of The Campaign for America's Wilderness and has been at the forefront of many of the important wilderness preservation campaigns as a strategist and lobbyist. In the 1980s, Scott was conservation director and, later, associate executive director of the Sierra Club. In 1996 he received the club's highest honor, the John Muir Award.
