The Conservation Alliance continues to grow with the addition of seven new member companies this January. These businesses represent a diverse cross-section of the outdoor industry, from ultralight backpacking and natural footwear to outdoor hospitality, sustainable packaging, and endurance nutrition. Each joins TCA with a shared commitment to protecting the lands and waters that make their work possible.
TCA members strengthen conservation through two key avenues:
• Grantmaking, which supports on-the-ground efforts led by local communities and partner organizations.
• Corporate advocacy, which helps move the policies that safeguard the wild landscapes and waterways we all depend on.
We’re excited to welcome the following companies:
AutoCamp creates immersive outdoor hospitality experiences that connect guests more deeply to nature through thoughtfully designed stays near some of the country’s most iconic landscapes. Their commitment to access and stewardship aligns closely with TCA’s mission to protect the places people come to experience and recharge in the outdoors.
Among the first ultralight backpacking companies, Gossamer Gear encourages hikers to “take less. do more.” Their lightweight packs and gear are designed to help people move more freely and thoughtfully through the backcountry, reflecting a deep respect for the trails and wild places that inspire adventure.
Since 2011, Lems has been committed to designing lightweight, flexible, foot-shaped footwear that supports natural movement and all-day comfort. Built around simplicity and functionality, Lems shoes are made for travel, trail, and everyday life, encouraging people to move more naturally through the world.
Founded by Chef Corso, Outdoor Eats is on a mission to elevate the outdoor food experience. Moving beyond packaged meals, Outdoor Eats provides fast, easy, and delicious recipes alongside pocket-sized cookbooks that make backcountry cooking more enjoyable and accessible.
PACT Outdoors creates award-winning, all-in-one backcountry bathroom kits that make human waste disposal easier and more sustainable. By offering practical, environmentally responsible solutions, PACT helps outdoor users reduce their impact and care for the places they explore.
Smart Shipping Supply helps brands ship responsibly with high-quality packaging made from 100% recycled materials. Their work supports a growing movement toward more sustainable supply chains and lower-impact operations across industries.
Tailwind Nutrition provides simple, complete nutrition solutions designed to fuel endurance athletes and long days outside. Built to perform in demanding conditions, Tailwind products help people go farther while staying connected to the landscapes that challenge and inspire them.
We’re grateful to welcome these new members into our community of businesses using their platforms for good. Together, we can drive meaningful conservation outcomes across North America.
