Defend America's Public Lands
National parks, forests, wildlife refuges and other public lands in the United States are national treasures, and the backbone of conservation and the outdoor recreation economy. Any large-scale sell-off of these critical landscapes would be devastating and impact future generations.
We have seen several proposals over the past year that would pave the way for the federal government to eliminate or sell our public lands and parks to the highest bidder, opening the door to development. These measures have been defeated but we must keep up the pressure!
Send your message to Congress now and tell your elected leaders that you oppose selling off federally owned public conservation lands for non-conservation uses. Speak up to keep these public lands in public hands.
This message will be delivered to:
Your U.S. Senators
Your U.S. Representative
I urge you to oppose any proposals that would make it easier to eliminate or sell off America's national parks and other public lands that are critical to conservation.
These protected lands and waters are fundamental to Americans' health and well-being and help keep our air and water clean. They are also critical drivers of local economies and the $1 trillion national outdoor recreation industry. 89% of American voters agree that "even with federal budget problems, funding to safeguard land, air and water should not be cut." In fact, a majority of voters want to see the federal government increase funding for water quality, land and habitat conservation, and improved access to nature.
Congress must continue to ensure that public lands stay in public hands.
