Welcome to Wild Connections
Spring hiking in Beaver Creek proposed Wilderness

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.
Draft Colorado Roadless Rule released - public hearing in Pueblo Aug.18
The proposed rule for managing Colorado's valued public Roadless lands is now open for public comment.  This rule also will open these last, undeveloped lands to potential road building!

Everyone who values wildlife, habitat protection, and opportunities to go into undeveloped lands to experience solitude and traditional recreation needs to speak up now.  The only public meeting for the Pike-San Isabel roadless areas will be in Pueblo on Monday August 18.

More details are in the current E-News.  Go to Take Action for suggestions on how you can help.
