JMT Wild is dedicated to the conservation of the wilderness, wildlife, and watersheds along the high Sierra Nevada crest defined by the John Muir Trail (est. 1915). Our mission is to restore and conserve the meadow ecosystems and riparian habitat of the JMT corridor in light of steeply increasing recreational use compounded by the effects of climate change. The region is roughly 20 miles wide and 220 miles north-to-south, running from Yosemite Valley to Mt. Whitney, and includes over 390 miles of trails and 2.8 million acres of surrounding wilderness.
