 For the first time in its 40-year history, the Wilderness Workshop has a long-term home! WW has now moved into beautiful new office space at the Third Street Center, Carbondale's just-opened nonprofit building.
The new office brings a host of benefits - more and better space, additional shared facilities, lower monthly costs, a secure lease. It also brings us full circle, in a way.
Forty years ago, WW founders Connie Harvey, Joy Caudill and Dottie Fox began their work by spreading maps out on Joy's kitchen table. From the start, they were all about the practical work of getting wilderness done, which was why they called their organization a "workshop."
 We're excited finally to have the literal workshop that Connie, Joy and Dottie envisioned. And at its heart is a project room with the modern equivalent of a kitchen table, where we can now spread out (and properly store) maps of the many areas we're working to protect. Please click here if you'd like to make a donation to the Kitchen Table Campaign to support our new office renovation. As a Wilderness Workshop supporter, you take the long view of landscape conservation. You understand that our new home in the Third Street Center, like our work, will pay dividends for decades to come. We hope you will consider making a significant gift to this bricks-and-mortar symbol – and place – of our work. Gifts made at this time will go 50 percent farther, thanks to a $50,000 2-to-1 challenge to WW issued by Adam and Melony Lewis. All gifts of $1,000 or more will be recognized in a plaque on our new “kitchen table” in the project/map room.
