Striving for the Protection of our Open Lands
Wildwood Conservancy
Wildwood’s primary conservation efforts, which involve stewardship in preserving natural and cultural resources, are impossible without ongoing collaboration with regional non-profit groups and agencies. The Foundation maintains partnerships with conservation, community, and historical organizations to provide service at the resource through cleanup, trail maintenance, and archeological monitoring of our pristine places close to home.
Wildwood Open Lands Foundation has reaffirmed its goal to identify at-risk open lands on the market and seek funding that will enable conservation land acquisition. In addition to protecting open space from exploitation through directly managed conservation, we intend to utilize these resources as a setting for natural sciences programming and responsible recreation education.

Developing programming that shares the beauty of Nevada’s open spaces while modeling low-impact responsible travel practices.
Wildwood Expedition
Wildwood Expedition believes that forging connections with our public lands creates a wider population of conservation-minded individuals. The overarching goal is to create a higher awareness and deeper engagement with open lands. In that effort, we have built a team with breadth and depth of natural and historical knowledge to deliver a guided, 4-wheel touring-style experience. These guided tours are more than off-road events. The bring-your-own-vehicle formatted routes showcase the natural, historical, and cultural aspects of these pristine and unique environments. Additionally, these multi-day trips integrate low-impact travel practices (e.g. tread lightly!® and Leave No Trace) as part of ‘life on the trail’.
As the utilization of fragile resources continues to climb, introducing conservation through experience in the application of best practices is the most effective approach to maintaining access and ecological stability.
Wildwood Expedition continues to explore and document its travels at wildwoodexpedition.com as well as through social media channels: Facebook & Instagram (@wildwoodexpedition). Our team’s adventures in Nevada and around the world are shared openly to inspire others.

More than deserts: Introducing a diverse ecosystem through direct experiences.
Wildwood Heritage
Education is Preservation. In concert with the efforts of Conservancy and Expedition, the Wildwood team are certified Leave-No-Trace, Tread Lightly!, and Stop the Bleed trainers. Additionally, we have the privilege of a network of incredible volunteers with professional backgrounds in natural sciences, eager to impart their knowledge to both adult and child explorers.
Our long-term vision for Wildwood Heritage is to bring a public-facing facility that connects the natural treasures of Nevada, the distinctiveness of Wildwood Conservancy preservations, and the tenets of responsible recreation through educational programming.
In 2025, we’ll leverage our success to expand our reach and depth. In addition to continuing with the WOLF’s existing offerings, we intend to focus on delivering a wider catalog of programming within our region. This includes sustainable, recreational travel practices in conjunction with local public schools and recreational communities.
