Destinations
Immerse yourself in the magnificent places we work together to defend
Travel to Arizona’s Sky Islands, a birder’s paradise where the isolated mountains and San Pedro River serve as a critical refuge for millions of migratory birds. Celebrate the rich biodiversity of this region and learn about the vision of our recently established Biodiversity Defense Program while birding with the program’s managing attorney, Tim Preso.
Paddle through the serene Boundary Waters, stargazing by campfire cookouts and practicing backcountry skills through trails of lush vegetation and wild blueberries. Meet the coalition of Earthjustice and local partners who are leading the fight to prevent destructive mining operations from altering this delicate ecosystem that Native communities, local businesses, outdoor enthusiasts, and wildlife depend on.
Learn about the environmental justice movement in southern Louisiana by kayaking through cypress swamps, biking along the levees of Cancer Alley, and sharing a meal of homemade gumbo with local advocates. Earthjustice’s Fossil Fuels program, our new Gulf office, and a broad coalition of partners are fighting toxic industries in pursuit of a healthy, resilient environment with clean air for all. Join us to explore a side of Louisiana that most travelers miss!
Embark on a multi-day river trip down the Snake River with Earthjustice staff and members of the Nez Perce Tribe to learn about our effort to restore Pacific salmon habitat. Our goal is to remove four dams on the lower Snake, which, if successful, would be the largest river restoration project in the world and bring salmon back from the brink of extinction – a critically important species for Native American tribes and fishing communities.
Journey through America’s first national park on a family-focused excursion that offers an unparalleled glimpse of wild lands and wildlife that have been eliminated from most of the world. Travelers of all ages will thrill at the chance to spot wolves, bison, and towering geysers while learning about Earthjustice’s past and present efforts to protect this critical ecosystem.
Exact dates are being finalized and will be announced shortly. Join our interest list for the first opportunity to register!

About Earthjustice Explores
At Earthjustice, we go to court for the future of our planet. But we are more than just lawyers in a courtroom: Our litigation, advocacy, and communications work leads to real change on the ground. When you travel with us, you’ll experience firsthand how our legal wins matter profoundly for people and the environment, and see what it really means for the earth to have a good lawyer.
Each trip is an opportunity to connect with the heart of our cases. Accompanied by local experts, community advocates, and Earthjustice attorneys, you’ll explore major environmental and public health fights, immerse yourself in local culture, and create relationships with the magnificent places for which we fight.
We curate each trip to showcase our regional work through a balanced itinerary of adventure, hands-on learning opportunities, social hours, and downtime. You’ll build meaningful connections with fellow Earthjustice supporters and enjoy numerous opportunities for casual conversation with experts. After a day of learning and exploring, you’ll have a comfortable landing place to relax and reflect on your experiences from the day.
Our trips are priced only to cover expenses and are not intended to help fund our organization. We offer these trips to you as an opportunity to connect with our shared mission.
We invite you to explore with Earthjustice!

What about air travel emissions?
Air travel is a significant — and growing — contributor to carbon dioxide emissions.
In order to avoid climate catastrophe, the greenhouse gas pollution from air travel needs to be reduced drastically. At Earthjustice, we believe that carbon offset programs are a stopgap measure and that the aviation industry needs to reduce emissions directly by updating fleets and adopting new, more efficient aircraft designs. That’s why we’re fighting for stronger emissions standards and federal regulations to force industry to take action.
While we hope you’ll travel with us to experience our work firsthand, we understand if you decline our invitation in order to reduce your carbon footprint. And if you do sign up for an Earthjustice Explores trip, we will suggest some local partner organizations on the ground that you could consider donating to directly, whose work there helps communities to build resilience to climate change.
