We were proud to lead an effort, along with Conservation Alliance, in gathering over 100 businesses on a letter to the Bureau of Land Management encouraging the agency to adopt a strong Public Lands Rule. Read the press release here.
Conserving public lands not only protects landscapes against the impacts of climate change, but also brings critical economic benefits through tourism and local recreation for rural and gateway communities situated near to these lands and waters. Outdoor recreation like hunting, fishing, boating, hiking, and wildlife watching supports 4.5 million jobs in the United States. Without balanced management that carefully considers conservation benefits, future development could endanger America’s public lands and waters and the millions of jobs they support.
