WHAT IS A BROADBAND?

Broadbands are local ad hoc groups that form around a particular local issue within the scope of Great Old Broads' mission statement, which specifies that we focus on protecting wilderness-quality public lands from grazing, off-highway vehicle activity, and oil and gas exploration and drilling.

We also specialize in having fun! This means Broadbands also get together just to socialize, hike, and enjoy the wilderness we work to protect. We believe that staying connected other Broads and The Land in a fun way leads to stronger Broadbands and advocates in the long run. Even if there isn't an urgent local issue at the moment, an occasional get-together with other Broads will allow you to have strong forces available when the time comes.

Joining a Broadband in you area is a great way to meet other Broads and to get involved in local or regional issues that are important to you. Scroll through the list of Broadbands to find out if there's one in your area. If there’s not a Broadband in your area and you’d like to start one, please contact us! We’d love to help you get a group going.
