Where your contribution goes

Stewardship
We create opportunities for knowledge exchange between landowners, make science more accessible and relevant, and provide the resources and information needed to make sound management decisions

Policy
We ensure that landowners have a voice in shaping public policies that support sustainable stewardship and conservation of the lands and the natural resources in our care.

Working Wild Challenge program
The Working Wild Challenge is a landowner-led effort that recognizes the challenge of ranching with wildlife, and facilitates constructive dialogue between wildlife managers and working lands stewards to solve problems through peer learning, public policies, and increasing access to technical and financial assistance.

Publications and Stories of Stewardship
We provide informative content to land stewards, policy makers and the public through our Western Digest, guide books, e-newsletters, films and On Land magazine.

On Land - The magazine of the Western Landowners Alliance

If we are to recover the American West to health and abundance, we need a new story about our relationship to land, rooted in an ethic of stewardship. On Land brings forth that story clearly and beautifully, in the voices of the people who are living it, at the leading edge of a future that puts people and nature together again for the benefit of both. If you appreciate the magazine and our work, we recommend (but don't require) a gift of at least $30/yr, to support the vital storytelling in On Land. You can also purchase additional copies of each beautiful 9x11" full color issue to share with friends and neighbors.

Landowners that prioritize the long-term care of the natural resources they steward should rejoice that the Western Landowners Alliance exists and is out there fighting for them.

We are taking ourselves too seriously if we think we own it... maybe the land owns us. Maybe instead of a deed it should be a license, like a marriage license, where we can continue as long as we are nurturing each other.

As a rancher, I’ve learned that conservation and ranching are not mutually exclusive pursuits. In fact, to do either well, you have to do them together.
