The Old Woman Mountains Wilderness is a wild & beautiful CA mtn range dominated by the “Old Woman” statue. 11 yrs ago today we protected 40 acres of this landscape - home to red tailed hawks, kestrels & the elusive chuckwalla. Can you see the old woman? #wilderness #conservation

Please pack out what you bring in to the forest including your trash. If trash cans are full, be prepared to take your trash home. Most visitors do the right thing. Do your part so everyone can enjoy! #RecreateResponsibly

1-yr ago, we helped save a spawning ground for these guys by buying a 60-acre mining claim along the Little Chetco River, Kalmiopsis Wilderness, OR. By protecting it, we stopped the potential removal of gravel that would have impacted critical spawning beds #WildlifeWednesday
