supporting excellence in teaching and research for more effective use of wild and natural areas to expand human potential. An endowed professorship, a learning laboratory, and interdisciplinary research are all parts of this new project designed to explore and clarify an expanding wilderness frontier.

The Wilderness Press

Begun initially to publish, in an appealing format, the proceedings of the World Wilderness Congress, the press is now a means for expanding all IWLF educational goals. Press objectives are to make available enjoyable and easily understood information which supports wilderness and natural areas.
