Friends of Scotchman Peaks Wilderness Inc

Leave a Legacy of Wilderness

Your donation will help the Friends of Scotchman Peaks Wilderness fulfill our mission to protect the Scotchman Peaks for future generations through Wilderness designation, ongoing stewardship and education.

The Friends of Scotchman Peaks Wilderness has been working for wilderness in Bonner County for the last 13 years. We are a grassroots group with over 7,000 supporters. We have organized thousands of volunteer hours doing trail work, wildlife education, group outings, and winter ecology education programs for local school children. 

We must act now to save the Scotchmans

Right now these wild areas belong to all of us – all of the citizens of this country – for us to use and enjoy in a variety of ways such as camping, fishing, hunting, hiking and backpacking, as well as observing and photographing the many species of wildlife and native plants that make these lands their home.

Leaving them unprotected means that these beautiful public lands could potentially be taken away from us, sold to developers. Other risks includes, over time, the loss of Wilderness characteristics, perhaps so slowly as to go unnoticed until it’s too late to stop. In either process, the natural habitats for numerous plants and animals could be lost, along with your opportunity to enjoy some of the few remaining wild areas in our region.

Preserving this rugged landscape provides benefits now and in the future, for generations to come.  In a time of rapid change we need to make sure this special place stays the same.

You can help us do that
