Why public lands
For us to thrive, we need nature to thrive. Public lands are the places where that knowledge becomes concrete. Public lands aren't owned by anyone—they belong to all of us, and are managed by government entities on our behalf. Great Old Broads for Wilderness has the know-how to make sure the government lives up to its promise to preserve these lands for us and our descendants.
