America’s public land comprises national parks, forests, monuments, trails, conservation areas, historic sites, memorials, battlefields, recreation areas, wild and scenic rivers, fish and wildlife refuges and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land.

While the majority of public lands are found out west, they belong to ALL Americans, not just those in the states that host them.

Americans are familiar with National Parks, but most of our public lands are not National Parks, and are used for many purposes- from outdoor recreation to grazing and mining.

From across the political spectrum, many Americans love utilizing these lands (typically at no cost) for camping, hiking, 4x4 adventures, skiing, family outings, hunting, fishing, river running, climbing and the list goes on!

Additionally, recreation and tourism to America’s public land creates hundreds of thousands of jobs and contributes billions of dollars each year to our economy.
