Your support is vital in securing a whole and healthy future for the West. By donating today, you'll empower our staff, volunteers and partners to develop policies and share practices that protect our lands, wildlife and communities.

At Western Landowners Alliance, our roots in Western communities run deep. Our team of landowners, managers, and producers face the very challenges we aim to solve. We understand the urgency because we live it every day.

Why Donate?

With your stories, your knowledge and your help, we’re raising widespread public awareness of the central importance of working lands to both people and wildlife. Together, we’re shaping public policies, increasing economic opportunities and empowering land stewards with knowledge and resources that support healthy lands, quality livelihoods and stronger communities.

"We’re an established place-based group, with paid staff, and still, accessing the resources that are available to get conservation action on the ground is really hard. Western Landowners Alliance helps fill that gap. And we count on them to advocate for place-based groups and landowner-led conservation as programs are being designed, so that everything works better for the land, ultimately.”

"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."

James Rogers

Northway Ranch Services

"Western Landowners Alliance is one of only a few organizations that understands that conservation is not only about just the land – it’s the people AND the land. Most of our endangered species are on private land, and it’s the people on private lands that have the most important role in saving them from extinction. WLA represents the West and the West needs WLA!"

SUPPORT A NEW STORY FOR THE WEST

On Land - The Voice of Stewardship in the American West

Wise stewardship of our lands and natural resources is the fundamental challenge of our time. 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.
