In 2023, in the United States, the outdoor recreation economy outpaced every other sector in growth. It accounts for a total of 2.3% of total US Gross Domestic Product (GDP), ($639.5 billion.)

Millions of acres of public lands are eligible for sale in the Senate budget reconciliation package (as of 6-14). This would be the largest public lands sell-off in US history, and would bypass traditional safeguards such as public hearings & environmental reviews. 1/x

Congress is trying to force the largest sell-off of public lands in US history.
The mega-bill mandates government agencies sell between 2.2 million and 3.3 million acres of public land. It would also make ~250 million acres of public lands available for sale.
Call your Senator.
