Tammy Wilson

Professional Athlete + Environmental Advocate

I was born and raised in Southern California. Growing up, I spent all of my free time snowboarding. It was through winter sports that my love for the mountains started to develop. Soon after I made the move to the Eastern Sierra. My first time climbing I went outside to Payahüünadü, the land of the flowing water (Bishop). I wanted to become an ambassador to help spread awareness around what it means to really care for our land and how to be stewards of the sports we choose to participate in.

When were you first introduced to Leave No Trace?

I was first introduced to Leave No Trace as a child through my dad’s work, which brought me outside with him to go fishing and camping. Back then we didn’t call it leave no trace, we just called it taking care of what takes care of us.  I’m Native American, and it’s always been very ingrained in our culture to take care of the land.

What is your favorite way to spend free time?

I spend the majority of my free time climbing in Payahüünadü, exploring the peaks and valleys of the Sierra, and playing in the snow when I can. I like to split my time between ultra running in the mountains, snowboarding, peak bagging and climbing!
