"SAWS sets standards that inspire, connect, and equip people to steward wild landscapes"
​
Since 2010, SAWS exploded into a strong, reliable stewardship partner in the southeast providing over 150,000 hours of wilderness stewardship service, educating over 50,000 people about wilderness and Leave No Trace, hiring and training 350 staff, and adding over $3.5 million in stewardship value and capacity in the region. SAWS regularly works across 8 states, servicing 8 national forests and 75 wildernesses.​
​
We invite you to connect with us in carrying out our mission by volunteering for a workday, joining us at the Wilderness Skills Institute, applying for one of our opening, or donating to provide essential, non-federal funds to keep the SAWS organization strong.
