Wild Connections - What we do

Wild Connections, a science-based advocacy organization, works to identify, protect and restore lands of the Upper Arkansas and South Platte watersheds to ensure the survival of native species and ecological richness. We focus on designing, implementing and defending the Wild Connections Conservation Plan - a vision for the future of this region that embodies the results of many years of roadless area mapping, citizen input and conservation science.

Conserving biodiversity requires networks of people protecting networks of wildlands.  Our programs involve people from all walks of life in proactive strategies, connections with wildlands and practical advocacy.  We invite you to join in this effort.


Wild Connections works in the mountain headwaters region of the South Platte and Arkansas Rivers.
