Dave Matthews, the hugely popular singer/songwriter, is the face of a new campaign by the Wilderness Society, a major environmental group.
According to the Wilderness Society, Matthews will call on Congress not to slash funding for a series of conservation programs and to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, among other things.
As one of the newest members of The Wilderness Society’s Governing Council, Dave Matthews is lending his voice to help preserve America’s treasured wilderness—including legislation to protect Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and the Alpine Lakes Wilderness expansion efforts near his home in Seattle. He is also calling on Congress to avoid short-sighted cuts in programs that preserve land, wildlife, and clean water.
If you happened to be at the Dave Matthews Band concerts in New Jersey this past weekend, you may have noticed hundreds of fans sporting “I Like it WILD” buttons, courtesy of The Wilderness Society.
On September 19 and 20, The Wilderness Society joined the Dave Matthews Band “Eco-village,” at the concerts in Camden. There, we were part of a collection of environmental and social justice groups that reach out to fans at every Dave Matthews Band show.
