Bio/Organization Note:	The Wilderness Society was formed in 1935 by a group of people concerned with preserving America's wilderness areas. Its mission is to "Deliver to future generations an unspoiled legacy of wild places with all the precious values they hold: Biological diversity, clean air and water, towering forests, rushing rivers, and sage-sweet, silent deserts." It accomplishes this mission through "Scientific expertise, analysis and bold advocacy at the highest levels to save, protect and restore America's wilderness areas."
Resumen:	Series 1 contains the correspondence of the founders of the Wilderness Society and the members of the governing council. Also included are agendas, minutes and reports of the governing council meetings, annual reports and the policies adopted by the council.
