Defending Wild Washington A Citizen's Action Guide

Beyond giving money or answering "action alert" campaigns to write your local congressperson, how can you, as a citizen, work directly to help protect the wild places you know and love? Defending Wild Washington documents how great accomplishments have been achieved by persons of modest means and often with no special past experience. It tells how, working together, individuals can change the laws and rules governing wildlands in this state. Editor Edward A. Whitesell, Environmental Studies Faculty Member at The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, led a team of students who researched and wrote this book over an academic year. Their goal is to educate and inspire citizen activists of the future. Defending Wild Washington was made possible with the generous support of The Evergreen State College, The Mountaineers Foundation, Patagonia, Inc., Friends of The Evergreen State College Library, and individual contributions from Frederick Goldberg and Oscar Soule. Photographs were donated by Art Wolfe Photography and the Ira Spring Family Foundation. A special thank you to the Pacific Northwest Trails Association, our fiscal sponsor for this project, and to Leslie Savage of Entercom.
