Indigenous Peoples Day is the second Monday in October. It is a day to remember, celebrate, and honor the lives, culture, and achievements of Native Americans. Steve Robinson, Washington Wild Board Member, shares his reflections on this commemorative day and on his experiences as someone of mixed Indian and non-Indian blood and heritage. He also discusses how we can continue to move forward as a community to fight climate change. Read the post 👉 https://wawild.org/celebrating-indigenous-peoples-day-2026/

The comment period closes Tuesday, October 6. If you haven't yet, speak up NOW to protect beloved places such as the popular climbing routes of Liberty Bell, Lena Lake on the Olympic Peninsula, the Kettle Crest in eastern Washington, popular larch viewing areas like Maple Pass and Blue Lake, and the remote backcountry trails of the Dark Divide.

Rolling back the Roadless Rule jeopardizes 2 million acres of wild forests in Washington State and 45 million acres of backcountry land nationwide.

This is an opportunity to speak up for these essential places.

Today we brewed our yearly big collaboration b**r with 82 breweries & b**r industry businesses for our Brewshed Alliance. For a 5th year in a row, we've come together to brew b**r, build community, and talk about the ways that we can conserve our wild places. The b**r, Our Land Extra Pale Ale, was brewed to highlight the ongoing threats to our public lands by the current administration including the current attempt to rescind the Roadless Rule. This year's brew was made by the fine folks at Stoup Brewing who have been a steadfast supporter of Washington Wild's work for many years.

The Washington Brewshed Alliance is a program of Washington Wild that works with over 100 breweries, hop growers, maltsters, pubs, and distributors to protect our state's forests, rivers, and clean water because after all, great b**r depends on clean water.

Saturday, September 26, is National Public Lands Day, the largest single-day volunteer effort dedicated to caring for and celebrating public lands. Unfortunately, this is coming at a time where the federal administration and Congress are attacking our public lands. Celebrate your public lands by speaking up and telling Secretary Rollins to not rescind the Roadless Rule ➡
