Defending Our Public Lands

This year, our public lands have faced a ceaseless wave of attacks. From staffing cuts to proposed sell-offs, the places we love are under threat from the administration and Congress like never before. Drastic cuts to the federal agency workforce, attempts to sell-off public lands, and roll back conservation protections require the outdoor community to mobilize our collective advocacy to meet this critical moment.
Join us to hear from policy experts about the latest threats to federal public lands, creative ways that The Mountaineers and our partners are making a difference, and how you can most effectively use your voice to protect the outdoors. The program will feature an intimate, insider conversation with plenty of time for your questions.

The full speaker line up will be announced in the coming weeks.

The evening will conclude with an invitation to support The Mountaineers Conservation and Advocacy program through philanthropic support. 

If this date conflicts with your calendar but are still interested in supporting, there is an option to include a 100% tax-deductible donation in lieu of attending.

Your choice of admission level is based on the level of support that is most meaningful to you*. 

* Each admission has a fair market value of $65 including food and drink.
