public lands

NOLS is celebrating the fact that local, grassroots conservation efforts can make a big difference in preserving the crown jewels of the United States' public lands.

September 20, 2018 press release from NOLS regarding the recent Bureau of Land Management (BLM) decision to move forward with an oil and gas lease sale in Wyoming's Red Desert, a key operating area for NOLS horsepacking courses.

Get excited! This year’s Run the Red race, sponsored by NOLS, will be held on September 28, 2019, Wyoming’s first Public Lands Day.

For us as a society, wild country gives us a place to wander in, to dream about, to disconnect, to live out our adventures in.

In celebration of National Public Lands Day, check out some of our favorite photos of public lands where NOLS operates!
