�e Carhart Center has developed National Wilderness Preservation System maps, brochures, and displays in support of numerous education and outreach efforts across the country. Wilderness Views, developed in cooperation with
the National Park Service, is a web-based, interactive, multimedia educational site for wilderness which meets national teaching standards and is available to teachers and students. A K-12 Wilderness and Land Ethic Curriculum is available for download at carhart.wilderness.net
Our documentary film, American Values: American Wilderness first aired on national public television in 2005. �is film, narrated by Christopher Reeve, weaves together the passionate love of wilderness shared by many people across the nation.
In 1996, a partnership between the Carhart Center, Aldo Leopold Wilder-ness Research Institute, and the Univer-sity of Montana’s Wilderness Institute was formed in order to create www.wilderness.net.
�e site houses the only officially-recognized, national, compre-hensive, interagency database of information about the BLM, FWS, FS, and NPS wilderness areas. Critical wilderness information is provided to managers, scientists, educators, and the public through searchable databases, wilderness legislation, research, and information regarding wilderness areas and stewardship issues. We continue to develop online “Toolboxes” to assist managers with specific stewardship dilemmas and initiatives. Other features include a robust image library, blogs, and interactive maps.
TrainingCarhart Center training improves consistency and collaboration in on-the-ground wilderness decisions among managers, stewardship skills among wilderness staff, and wilderness awareness among agency employees.
We offer both online and classroom training courses to federal land managers with wilderness related duties. One-day to one-week classroom courses and online courses are offered all across the country, and an increasing suite of online courses are available. �is
combined delivery method ensures that more people have greater access to training when needed and at the lowest possible cost.
For more information about training, registration, and course schedules visit carhart.wilderness.net.
Interagency ModelInteragency ModelInteragency Model�e Carhart Center staff works with experts within and outside the agencies to develop comprehensive interagency solutions to critical stewardship issues. Materials devel-oped are distributed to each of the wilderness units, and training sessions are offered where they are most needed. �is coordination greatly reduces duplication of effort, staff, and funding.
