On September 3rd 1964 Lyndon B Johnson signed the US Wilderness Act and on February 3rd 2009 the European Parliament issued the first European Wilderness Resolution calling for more Wilderness in Europe. 
 
2019 marks therefore the 10th anniversary of Wilderness in Europe and the 55th anniversary of the US Wilderness  Act. The European Wilderness Society will organise several activities, events and launch new initiatives celebrating Wilderness in Europe. 
 
Join our efforts in 2019 and celebrate these anniversaries to promote more Wilderness in Europe.
