Public Lands in North America Need Our Help

Today, April 22nd, 2025, 100% of the revenue from our US and Canadian webshops goes directly to forest conservation. That means everything you spend will go towards protecting the places in nature that we all love.

As of February 2025, protections for federal public lands in the United States are being repealed in favor of mining and drilling.

This puts over 13 million acres of protected lands at risk of destruction and irreparable harm. These lands include habitats for 32 endangered species and 27 threatened species, as well as streams that provide drinking water for over 2 million people.

Icebugs founder David Ekelund. During Black Friday 2024, all revenue from Icebug’s online store and physical stores in Stockholm and Gothenburg went to organizations dedicated to protecting nature.

What Can We Do?

The most important thing we can do now is use our voices and, in Icebug’s case, business as a force for good! That is why, on Earth Day, April 22nd, 2025, Icebug will donate all US sales made to The Wildlife Society and the Conservation Lands Foundation.

If you are shopping from Canada, your money will go to the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) to help them advocate for Canadian forests.

If you need a new pair of shoes, this is a great time to purchase one and support the fight to protect North America’s public lands. If you don’t have a need to fill but still want to contribute, we encourage you to donate directly to any of these organizations. As always, we advocate only buying what you need and making the most of the products you already have.

This is the time to use your voice! Contact your representatives and government officials. Thank you for supporting us as we help protect the forests and habitats that are so important to us all.

Icebug has helped preserve Swedish forests for many years, like this in Ullersjöbäcken.

We use our business to do good

At Icebug, we’re committed to making better shoes that help you get out every day – no matter the conditions. Also, we have decided to change our industry by taking responsibility for our footprint. Our goal is to make footwear with great durability, low CO2 emissions and respect for people and planet. Part of the money that you invest in us, we give back to the planet by donating to organizations that, for instance, work to preserve old-growth forests.
