Fund Maintenance at Parks & Public Lands
The America the Beautiful Act would extend the Legacy Restoration Fund (LRF), a program that’s helped repair trails, and other infrastructure across America's public lands. The fund would help land mangers address a $41 billion maintenance backlog.
Protect Public Lands with Proper Funding
Massive budget cuts put the outdoors and recreation experiences at risk, meaning limited funding for everything from local rangers to trail work to managing volunteers to coordinating public input.
Keep Public Lands in Public Hands
The Public Lands in Public Hands Act will protect America’s public lands by requiring congressional approval for large-scale transfers, sell-offs, or disposal of public lands and waters. The bipartisan bill needs the support of other House lawmakers.
Defend the Roadless Rule

Defend the Public Lands Rule

Ask Lawmakers to Reverse Staffing Cuts at Parks & Public Lands

Reform Mining to Protect Public Lands
The Mining Law of 1872 continues to govern hardrock mining across most of the U.S., giving mining a pass to the front of the line and often causing direct conflicts with outdoor recreation and conservation priorities.
Wildfire Bill Could Harm Outdoor Recreation
The House recently passed the Fix Our Forests Act, which takes steps to address the risk of wildfire, but it includes provisions that would undermine the outdoors. Ask your Senators to make changes to the final bill.
Support the BLM’s Public Lands Rule
The BLM’s recent Public Lands Rule offers new ways to manage and protect 245 million acres of public lands, home to spectacular outdoor recreation opportunities. It will help the BLM address the stress of climate change, increasing visitation, and energy development. Tell lawmakers you support the rule!
Uphold Oil and Gas Leasing Reforms
Oil and gas leasing has regularly been in conflict with outdoor recreation experiences. The BLM released new oil and gas leasing reforms to better protect outdoor recreation.
