U.S. federal parks and recreation areas are in serious jeopardy. Staffing cuts and fewer dollars have forced parks to cut hours, close visitor centers and reduce services. Even safety and rescue operations are being short-changed.
National parks and public conservation lands are an essential part of America and protect the best, most treasured areas of our country — and they need us to defend them right now.
We can't allow this crisis for our federal lands to get even worse! Send your message to Congress now and tell your elected leaders to restore funding for these natural treasures and oppose deeper cuts. Speak up to keep the great outdoors off the chopping block.
This message will be delivered to:
Your U.S. Senators
Your U.S. Representative
I urge you to preserve funding for national parks and other public conservation lands and oppose deeper cuts to these critical natural resources.
These large natural landscapes 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 $1.2 trillion national outdoor recreation industry. Recent data shows that 79% of people agree that, “One of the things our government does best is to protect and preserve our national history and natural beauty through national parks, forests and other public lands.”
Congress must continue to protect our nation's natural treasures. Appropriate staffing and management is essential to making parks and outdoor recreation safe and accessible for the public.
