Ventana Wilderness Alliance (VWA) is a California nonprofit organization dedicated to advocating for and stewarding the Ventana and Silver Peak Wilderness areas. With over twenty years of experience, VWA works tirelessly to maintain backcountry trails, educate visitors on safety and etiquette, and provide free wilderness excursions for underrepresented communities. Through the support of its members, VWA ensures that these ecological jewels remain accessible and preserved for future generations.
VWA's team of dedicated volunteers and professionals work hard to keep the Big Sur backcountry trails in good shape, as chronic understaffing has led to the US Forest Service no longer maintaining them. Their efforts also include educating backcountry visitors on campfire safety and promoting responsible waste management. By becoming a monthly sustaining member, individuals contribute to the financial health of VWA and help smooth out the organization's annual budget cycle, ensuring the continued protection of the wilderness they love.
