Overview

WildLink programming aims to build students’ relationships to the natural world, create a sense of belonging in Wilderness and forge connections between young people and local communities. The WildLink experience begins with a six-day immersive experience in Yosemite National Park that includes a four-day backpacking trip into Wilderness. Participants organize stewardship projects with their peers and communities in order to help spread care for the enduring resource of Wilderness.

Since 2000, WildLink has invited young people to the Sierra Nevada Wilderness, and demonstrated the relevance and benefits of the outdoors and public lands for all.
