WELCOME
The National Wilderness Stewardship Alliance and the Society of Wilderness Stewardship are pleased to welcome you to the National Wilderness Workshop. Over the course of the week of November 15th - 19th over 350 participants had the advantage of tapping into wilderness learning, networking with the wilderness stewardship community, while exploring wilderness stewardship issues of the mid-Appalachian area and other parts of the rest of the country. With over 30 hours of virtual content the Workshop showcased wilderness stewardship groups, the latest wilderness research, new ways of doing business to support culturally and rich organizations and communities. The content below is provided for the entire wilderness community to review and enjoy.
The Workshop Planning Committee has made adjustments to the program to accommodate different time zones and schedules during the week of November 15th. We decided to only offer one session at a time so everyone could engage together. Some sessions that originally had been listed in the Workshop will be deferred to a later time and will become a 2022 NWSA Webinar or Coffee Hour presentation.

The National Wilderness Stewardship Alliance and the Society of Wilderness Stewardship, in partnership with the U. S. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management, the Virginia Wilderness Committee and the Appalachian Trail Conservancy welcome you to the Virtual National Wilderness Workshop. An outstanding program fills five days with plenary and concurrent sessions along with optional networking sessions and special events. This year’s Workshop also encourages wilderness stewards to expand their skill set to advocate for wilderness stewardship. Through a series of pre-Workshop webinars, and then Workshop sessions, participants will be trained to effectively interact with elected officials, agency leaders, and Congressional staff.
The National Wilderness Workshop is the premier gathering of wilderness stewardship organizations, federal agencies, and wilderness academics to learn and discuss current wilderness issues, network among like-minded professionals, and seek solutions to pressing wilderness problems. Through a series of plenary and concurrent sessions a vast array of information is shared, and important topics are discussed. Come and share your voice.
The Program - Presentations, Recordings, and Additional Materials - this is a work in progress as materials become available. Some videos needed post processing. Some sessions not recorded.
