Wildlands 2025

This summer, Outlaw Foundation is supporting American Rivers and the Center for Large Landscape Conservation through Wildlands Music, an event that includes two nights of world-class concerts featuring Dave Matthews, Lukas Nelson, and Molly Tuttle, as well as the Wildlands Charity Night. These events directly benefit the two nonprofits by raising awareness about the importance of protecting our cherished wild and scenic places—landscapes that each organization works tirelessly to preserve.

Wildlands charities benefit from 6+ different fundraising activities and awareness of their important mission for conservation through ticket and sponsor sales, volunteer donations, merchandise sales, silent auction items, and the Wildlands Music charity dinner. In 2024 Wildlands total amount raised reached $303,000.

OUR 2025 PARTNERS

We can’t do it alone. We’re proud to partner with like-minded conservation non-profits to protect public lands in our region and across the country. This year we are excited to work with American Rivers and the Center for Large Landscape Conservation as our Wildlands beneficiaries.

American Rivers is championing a national effort to protect and restore all rivers, from remote mountain streams to urban waterways. Nearly everyone in our country lives within a mile of a river but few know what that river provides. Much of our drinking water comes directly from rivers, and natural river habitats support thousands of plant and animal species. Our farms and cities alike depend on abundant river water for growth. For many of us, rivers offer recreation and a way to connect to nature. But our rivers are threatened by pollution, dams, and increasingly severe droughts and floods. Perhaps the greatest threat is simply lack of awareness of how important rivers are to our lives. American Rivers tackles these challenges head on. We have a half-century of experience addressing river threats from coast-to-coast. We protect vital habitat, work with communities to reduce pollution, secure policies that safeguard our clean drinking water, and remove dams to improve communities’ safety and the health of our freshwater ecosystems. Since 1973, American Rivers has been at the forefront of protecting clean water and healthy rivers. We have always been known for our ability to bridge divides and build partnerships to do what’s best for rivers. Today, the challenges to rivers are increasing dramatically. That’s why we are championing a powerful, diverse river movement to make every river in the country a source of opportunity, abundance, and life.

The Center for Large Landscape Conservation’s vision is a world where nature and people thrive in connected, resilient landscapes. As the hub of a growing conservation movement, the Center is working to reverse the fragmentation of our planet’s large landscapes through cutting-edge science, policy, and on-the-ground action. In Montana, the Center is creating safe passage for wildlife in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem by establishing wildlife crossings on US 191 and US 89, two of the most heavily traveled highways on Yellowstone’s periphery that are notorious for wildlife-vehicle collisions. In the Sixmile and Ninemile region west of Missoula, the Center is also improving safety for grizzlies and other species crossing Interstate 90.
