Founded in 1998, the Ventana Wilderness Alliance (VWA) is a California nonprofit corporation with IRS 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. It is dedicated to protecting the wildlands of California's northern Santa Lucia mountain range. VWA is composed of people from all walks of life who share a love of Wilderness and a goal to ensure it remains wild in perpetuity.
With boundless hope and guarded optimism, the Ventana Wilderness Alliance looks to the future. Hopefully the pandemic has entered its final phase, the early rains are a harbinger of a wet winter, and America will increase its commitment to public lands. As you read this newsletter, you will learn about our strategic steps forward right here in the Ventana region.

For over a decade the Ventana Wilderness Alliance has led the grassroots effort to protect the wilderness qualities of the Ventana Region, along the Big Sur Coast. VWA volunteers also contribute thousands of hours each year maintaining the public trails in the Ventana back country. I support their conservation work and endorse the Ventana Trails Forever campaign.
