Wild South is a regional nonprofit focused on conservation programs. It coordinates the Community Conservation Corps, a network of communities in the Southern National Forest who collaborate to safeguard wild places they value. Based in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, the organization operates in the Pisgah National Forest and designated wilderness areas, enabling local groups to participate in ongoing stewardship and recovery efforts, including responses to severe weather events. As a small to mid-sized organization, it relies on community engagement and partnerships to advance its conservation work.

Its activities are aimed at engaging communities and partner organizations within the Southern National Forest region to address conservation challenges through cooperative action and local leadership. The group maintains an annual Roosevelt-Ashe Conservation Awards program to recognize notable conservation work in the region. Collaborative efforts include integrating partner groups such as A Clean Wilson Creek to continue community hurricane recovery work in the Pisgah National Forest. The organization fits within the conservation sector as a regional actor coordinating local conservation initiatives rather than a large national institution.
