Be part of the legacy. Here’s how:
Spread the word
Tell your friends about the campaign and about this website. Go to our FACEBOOK page (go to www.facebook.com/americanalps). and click "Like." The latest news and developments will be posted on Facebook. Tell us what you think by posting comments there!
Volunteer
We need people to help with public outreach, such as tabling
at events, as well as leading or co-leading hikes, assisting with field mapping,
doing basic research, sharing graphic design skills, video editing and
production, writing articles, editing publications, contributing to the website,
or . . . you name it! Even a small amount of time and energy is appreciated! To
sign up as a volunteer, simply drop us a line and someone will be in touch.
Donate
Yes, it costs money to carry out a campaign as important as
this one. You can contribute by mail or online.
Every dollar counts. We are also interested in high-quality auction items that
can be donated for fundraising events.
Host a presentation
If you know of any group, large or small, who would be
interested in a presentation about the American Alps Legacy Project, please let
us know. We offer both a 10-minute introduction or a complete 60-minute program
(or anything in between), tailored to the interests of your group. We’re
especially interested in outdoor recreation, sportsman and conservation groups,
community, neighborhood, business and church groups, and other groups or
associations having an interest in wild places and our beautiful North Cascades.
To learn more or to arrange a presentation, please email us at
info@americanalps.org.
Write your representatives
One of the most important things you can do is contact your
elected representatives in Congress, including both U.S. Senators. Let them know
that the time is now to complete the vision for park and wilderness protection
in the North Cascades. Ask them to sponsor legislation and to be a champion for
the cause. If there are specific areas you care about and want to see protected
as park or wilderness, let them know. Even a short letter goes a long way toward
letting our representatives know this is an issue that is very important to
their constituents back home.
Members of Congress and the Senate
generally prefer to be contacted by mail, phone or via their
websites. Contact information for Washington’s U.S. Senators
and Representatives is listed below. Because these public
lands belong to all Americans, citizens from other states
can contact their representatives as well. For contact
information, visit
