[PHOTOS] Our favorite snapshots of public lands

Enjoy these photos of nature during your busy day.

Momoko, in the middle of the holiday rush—and at the tail-end of one of the most turbulent years for public lands in recent history—we'd like to invite you to pause for a moment. Breathe in… breathe out… and take a scroll through the stunning photos below—winners of The Wilderness Society's staff photo contest, shared in celebration of public lands and voted on by supporters like you. Each one is a vivid reminder of why we do this work day in and day out: to protect the wild places where we explore, connect and find inspiration in nature's beauty—and so that future generations have the freedom to enjoy them as well. 📍Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Balsam Range 📸 Kristin Iden, Director of IT 🏅Best Public Lands Landscape Photo "I took this photo after a long day of moving. I went up to my favorite spot in the Smokies where my ancestors are from and watched the storm clouds and sun play across the Balsams, grateful for time to breathe." 📍Gallatin Range, Montana 📸 Kathryn Eklund, Southwest Montana Community Conservation Specialist 🏅Best Pets on Public Lands Photo "Our family loves to backpack, our dog Rossie especially so. On this day we had woken up early to have coffee and breakfast atop Hyalite Peak, and were greeted by a baby mountain goat as we made our way to the top!" 📍Glacier National Park 📸 Jim Ramey, Colorado State Director 🏅Best Public Lands Wildlife Photo "My wife and I took our very first hike in Glacier National Park to the Hidden Lake overlook from the Logan Pass visitor center. The family of mountain goats that came rambling up the trail was a wonderful welcome!" Thank you for being part of our community, Momoko—I hope that these photos brought a moment of peace and reflection to your busy day. — The Wilderness Society P.S.

[Impact Report] Here’s what you helped make possible 👉

The threats were big, but your impact was bigger.

YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE IN 2025: Here's how our movement for public lands is growing stronger Momoko, this year has been a steep climb—starting with a flurry of executive orders that targeted our cherished public lands and bedrock conservation policies, to an ongoing barrage of threats aimed at rolling back decades of progress. But your support this year has helped us fight—day in and day out—to safeguard our nation's wild places from irretrievable losses. Here's a look at how we showed up together in 2025: And together, we delivered real results: We defeated a high profile amendment in the Senate that would have made more than 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale—a powerful reminder that when our community stands together, we can stop even the most dangerous attacks on our shared wild places. Your support powers what we do throughout the year—on the ground, in the halls of Congress and in communities nationwide. In 2025, that meant standing up against the repeal of the Roadless Rule, fighting the rollback of protections for the Arctic, and working hand in hand with Tribal Nations and local partners to defend our national monuments. These fights aren't over—and your continued support will be essential to defending the progress we've made and securing lasting protections for future generations. There is so much to be hopeful about. Even amid mounting threats, supporters like you have stepped up at this critical moment to protect the wild places we hold dear. We do this work because wild places—and all who depend on them—need us to. When we save wild places, we save ourselves. Your tenacity and willingness to speak up for public lands inspires me every day, Momoko. Thank you for being an essential part of this powerful community—I hope you feel a deep sense of pride knowing that your partnership and love for wild places is powering us toward a better and brighter future. With gratitude, Margot Krieger Director of Membership The Wilderness Society P.S. There's no denying how vital your support is, looking at these numbers. Every action you take, rally you attend or gift you give strengthens our movement. Right now, a generous donor is matching all gifts 5X, multiplying your impact to defend our nation's public lands and waters. Please consider making a tax-deductible year-end donation today to help protect our public lands for the generations that will follow. Mason Cummings, TWS

🚨ALERT: Congress choosing corporations over communities

SPEED Act will destroy permitting laws, community input...

Tell Congress to vote NO on the SPEED Act!   Act now A Dear Momoko, While the Trump administration continues to wreak havoc on public lands with unyielding layoffs and rule shredding, Congress is now poised to enable even deeper damage, putting corporate greed over community wellbeing. The SPEED Act would hollow out one of our most important protective laws and let destructive projects run full steam through public lands. It threatens the conservation values that keep our air and water clean, limits the public's freedom to weigh in on decisions that shape our shared lands and puts future generations at risk. Tell Congress to vote NO on the SPEED Act! For over fifty years, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) has protected transparency and smart decision-making by ensuring that major projects—like pipelines and mines—consider environmental impacts before breaking ground and are informed by public input. It is one of the only federal laws that ensures our air, land and water are protected from harm. The SPEED Act is a corporate polluter handout that will run NEPA through the shredder. Under the guise of simple "reform" this bill will dramatically reduce public input, restrict scientific review and limit court oversight of the process. It is a wolf in sheep's clothing that will sideline our communities, destroy our conservation safeguards and sell-out future generations—it cannot be allowed to pass! Tell Congress to vote NO on the SPEED ACT! Thank you for your advocacy and support. Sincerely, The Wilderness Society   Act now Mason Cummings
