Membership Info

Western Lands Preservation (WLP) is dedicated to protecting and restoring Western Lands for present and future generations.  Founded by Steven Whitney, WLP seeks to preserve the natural beauty of the Western US.

How We Are Different

  • We are a for-profit entity and proud of it.  Why?
  • We purchase and directly steward the land we preserve.
  • When you sponsor or gift to Western Lands Preservation, or purchase our products, your taxes do not go down, and your neighbor's taxes do not go up.

First Preserve

Aspens, pines and underbrush in Utah mountains

Utah - Oquirrh Mountains

Western Lands Preservation bought 30 acres of land up Soldier Canyon in Tooele, Utah - our very first property!

Mixed ecosystems of aspen/pine forest, aspen groves, and semiarid mountain slopes.  Status is 'preserve' and not open for member or public activities.

Preserve Details

The Badger Badge Story

It was a sunny day in Wyoming as Western Lands Preservation founder Steven Whitney trotted down a gravel path in the backwoods, stopping now and then then to take a gander at the honeybees buzzing around flowers and the mountain bluebirds perched atop their sagebrush thrones.  At that time, the Western Lands Preservation did not exist, nor had the idea even formed, and so Steven happily ambled downhill without a care in the world that day . . .

The rest of the story . . .
