Wilderness Watch is a nonprofit organization focused on the preservation and stewardship of lands and rivers that are already part of the National Wilderness Preservation System and the National Wild & Scenic Rivers System. Based in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, the group operates within the civic and social sector and emphasizes protecting designated wilderness and river resources through advocacy and related activities. The organization serves stakeholders concerned with conservation and public lands management, including those who rely on or value access to preserved natural areas, and seeks to address issues affecting the integrity of federally protected landscapes. With a small organizational footprint, Wilderness Watch concentrates on legal and policy actions relevant to maintaining the status and protection of wilderness areas and wild rivers, such as actions related to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. A notable recent development includes a legal filing involving the U.S. Forest Service aimed at removing towboats from a protected wilderness area, reflecting its role in safeguarding these protected regions through formal channels.
