Help me keep the Wild in Washington this Earth Month!
My interest in conservation work really began when I decided to spend a year in China. Throughout my year there I witnessed countless incidents of extreme pollution and severe environmental degradation. Before I could actually drink the water in my apartment it had to be boiled and brushing my teeth was a task accomplished with bottled water. As an avid runner, hiker, backpacker, and general lover of the outdoors, I was devastated that checking the air quality index was a constant barrier in my ability to do the things I loved. Working to protect wilderness areas and water sources can ensure that the experience I had in China can never be part of the Washington State experience.

Since 1979 Washington Wild has helped to protect nearly 3 million acres as wilderness. The organization’s dedication to protect wild places throughout Washington State, especially in the Olympics and Cascades ecosystems, translates to protecting remarkable places that are a key part this region’s quality of life. The old-growth forests, salmon spawning streams, snow-capped peaks and world class recreational opportunities are a major reason so many of us choose to live work and play in Washington State.
