Washington Wild works to protect and restore wild lands and waters in Washington State through advocacy, education, and civic engagement. As our population continues to increase and climate change threats appear on the horizon, we must work to permanently protect the intact forests and watersheds that remain. Washington Wild has led state-wide efforts to develop Wilderness and Wild and Scenic River designation campaigns, the strongest protections available for federal lands and waters. Since our founding in 1979, the organization has helped to protect nearly three million acres of Wilderness in Washington State, including the designation of Wild Sky Wilderness and, most recently, the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Additions. 

The Brewshed® Alliance is an outreach initiative of Washington Wild designed to bring people together with a simple message: protected water makes superior downstream beer. The conservation of wild waters and the watersheds that protect them impact the quality of Washington beer.  We call this the Brewshed® connection and breweries throughout the state are joining with us to help people understand how conservation work from organizations like Washington Wild benefits the quality of the beer in their glass.
