Take Action

America’s Wild Places Need You

Generations of hikers, bikers, alpine lake dippers, climbers, skiers, and everyday nature-lovers rely on America’s public lands for health and wholeness. The wild places that provide access to untouched powder lines, mountain bike trails, backyard parks, and inspiring landscapes are the backbone of our traditions and outdoor heritage.

But those same lands now face growing threats—from privatization and locked-off access to underfunding that leaves trails, roads, and habitats at risk.

Act now to protect the places we love. Tell Congress to keep public lands in public hands!

* Subject:

I am deeply concerned about ongoing efforts that could weaken or remove federal protections for America's public lands. These changes, including land transfer proposals, closure of public access routes, and chronic under-resourcing, threaten the mountains and outdoor spaces where Americans hike, ski, bike, climb, camp, paddle, and find joy.

Public lands and waters are the backbone of outdoor recreation in America. These landscapes sustain wildlife, strengthen local economies, and provide access that's essential to the health and wellness of our communities. 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.
