my wilderness has featured the stories of Lynn Donaldson and her family, the Hagens (on bench), and Dudley Edmondson.
protection ever since his first escape from the inner
city to the country.
Dudley Edmonson is so invested in the power
of wilderness that he leads boys on backpacking
trips through Washington’s North Cascades so
that they can become tomorrow’s “wilderness
sentinels.”
my wilderness celebrates everyday heroes—
each and every one of our supporters—for their
dedication to saving America’s last great places.
And we ask you to have some fun with us. You
can enter contests to win wilderness trips, watch
videos featuring wild places, get outdoors tips,
and learn more about the places you enjoy.
Frontier Airlines has added to the fun with
a Spokesanimal of the Month. Here’s a message
from Sarge the Bald Eagle: “I’m proud to be the
national symbol of the United States. And there’s
no place I’d rather strut my stuff than on the tail
of a Frontier Airlines flight. It’s true that I don’t
need a plane to fly, but Frontier always takes me
to greater heights. That’s why you’ll often see me
perched planeside.”
We want to see more of your best my wilderness
places, stories, poems, and campfire recipes.
There’s a place for everyone in my wilderness, no
matter your favorite outdoor activity or place. The
Wilderness Society, Frontier Airlines, and all our
supporters are always dreaming up fresh ideas
and stories, and we hope you’ll join us in the fun
at my.wilderness.org.

Airline with a Mission
Frontier Airlines operates more than 500 daily flights from
hubs in Denver, Milwaukee, and Kansas City, serving over 80
destinations in the United States, Mexico, and Costa Rica. The
low-fare airline flies to Alaska and many other places where
The Wilderness Society is especially active.
Frontier is dedicated to a culture that ensures the
commitment of its 5,500 employees to the environment. ”This
is one of the ways we are delivering on our promise to be a
better and different airline,” says Bryan Bedford, chairman,
president, and CEO.
Frontier ranks third among the 20 largest U.S. airlines
in energy efficiency, according to a recent analysis by Brighter
Planet, but Frontier is aiming higher. To get there, the airline
is converting to a more fuel-efficient fleet. Frontier has placed
orders for 40 Bombardier C-Series aircraft (which emit 20
percent fewer greenhouse gases than any plane currently in
production) and 80 Airbus A320neo jets (which use 15 percent
less fuel than the current A320). By using the A320neo jets,
Frontier will cut fuel use by nearly 370,000 gallons—the annual
consumption of 1,000 mid-size cars—and will reduce CO 2
emissions by 3,600 tons a year. The company also is engaged
in other initiatives to significantly reduce fuel consumption
and the resulting damage to the environment.
