RE: Keep Public Lands in Public Hands

I am writing to express my deep concern over ongoing efforts to transfer public lands out of federal protection. Our public lands, including national forests, parks, and open spaces, are meant to be enjoyed by everyone. If protections are stripped away, they could be sold, developed, or closed to the public.

These lands are more than scenic places; they provide space for recreation, support wildlife, and strengthen our local economies. Weakening federal protections risks parceling out these lands for short-term financial gain. States simply do not have the resources to maintain these lands, upping the chances they will be sold to cover costs, cutting off access for millions of Americans.

You and your colleagues have a rare opportunity to safeguard these landscapes by passing the bipartisan Public Lands in Public Hands Act, ensuring that our public lands remain protected from privatization and accessible to all. I urge you to support this critical legislation and oppose any initiatives that would compromise the future of our public lands.

Thank you for your leadership and commitment to preserving these irreplaceable spaces.
