Research, outreach and advocacy to keep public lands public.

The Western Lands Project was created to monitor federal land exchanges and promote reform in related federal policies. Our mission has expanded to include scrutiny of efforts to privatize public lands.

While it is not our intent to oppose every single such action, neither will the Western Lands Project endorse any project that puts public lands in private hands.
