Since our founding in 1996, Wild Virginia (then SEDG) has been a strong advocate and organizing force for Congressionally designated Wilderness Area protection. 

We helped create the Priest and Three Ridges Wilderness Areas in Nelson County, Virginia in 2001.  We worked with friends in the Virginia Wilderness Committee, Southern Environmental Law Center, and many more to protect permanently these beautiful places.

We will deepen our Wilderness Protection web pages in the coming weeks.  If you know you love Wilderness, please consider supporting the latest effort in southwest Virginia:
