Welcome to the WILD LIBRARY, a collection of useful materials for advocates of Wilderness and Wild & Scenic Rivers. The library is set up to provide up-to-date information concerning Wilderness stewardship issues, including scientific and legal information, as well as guidelines for citizen advocates.

The library is organized by topic - each topic heading (see menu bar at left) leads to several related sub-topics. If you have questions concerning the library, or know of a document it should include, please email us at wild@wildernesswatch.org. The construction of the Wild Library is an ongoing project - we apologize for any inconvenience! Check back regularly for new additions.
