This juried photography exhibition celebrates the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Wilderness Act, one of our nation's most successful pieces of conservation legislation, and illustrates the majesty, diversity, and value of the nation's wilderness areas. Approximately 50 award-winning large-format images by professional, amateur, and student photographers reveal America as you've never seen it—wild, untouched, and free.

Presented in partnership with Nature’s Best Photography magazine and Wilderness50, a coalition of more than 25 non-profit organizations, academic institutions, and government agencies.
