About Us |
|
| |
With over 30,000 members and 30,000 additional
donors and volunteers, the Wilderness Committee is Canada’s
largest membership-based, citizen-funded wilderness protection
group. We’ve helped to gain protection for over 40
major wilderness areas in western Canada, including millions
of hectares of critical wildlife habitats, some of the world’s
last large tracts of old-growth temperate rainforest and
boreal forest. And yet much more remains to be done… |

Who We Are in the Manitoba Office |
|
| |
As there are only one full-time employee
in the Manitoba office, the casual workers, canvassers,
and volunteers who assist us accomplish a tremendous amount
in our push towards protecting Manitoba’s enviornment. |
