Welcome to Wilderness.net!

Wilderness.net will be transitioning to a new server. Although we anticipate a smooth transition without interruptions in service, visitors may experience technical difficulties starting 9/19 and extending into the following week.

About Us: Wilderness.net is an Internet-based tool connecting the natural resource workforce, scientists, educators, and the public to their wilderness heritage through ready access to wilderness information. Through Wilderness.net and its partners, you'll find access to general information about wilderness, stewardship and educational resources, scientific information, agency policies, relevant legislation, communication tools to connect you with others in the wilderness community and more.
