Join Advocates for the West as they share background and context for the various levels and types of land designations on our federal and state public lands and what each one means for your work. We will explore Wilderness Areas, Wilderness Study Areas, National Monuments, National Conservation Areas, Wild and Scenic Rivers, National Trails, ACECs, etc.
