Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Braided River is committed to inspiring support for critical conservation efforts. We combine the arts of photography and literature to create books, media campaigns, multimedia presentations, and museum exhibits that change perspectives and engage audiences beyond the traditional environmental core. By developing partnerships with like-minded organizations and building broader public support, we inspire action that results in on-the-ground victories for wilderness preservation.

We inspire people to protect wild places through images and stories that change perspectives.
