We have an unprecedented opportunity to give our input about the future of conservation in America. America's Great Outdoors is a new effort spearheaded by President Obama and several government agencies that is attempting to reconnect people with nature. And you can be a part of shaping it.
New and growing threats -- overdevelopment, pollution, climate change, etc -- demand a smarter, science-based approach to protecting wildlife, rivers, lakes, wild lands, and cultural and historic sites.
Please tell the Obama Administration to make wilderness, new parks and monuments, and restoration of wetlands and wildlife habitat the cornerstons of America's Great Outdoors.
Dear [Decision Maker],
I want the next generation to enjoy America's great outdoors too. That's why I am asking you to seize this opportunity to create, expand and better protect America's shared outdoor spaces, including wilderness, monuments, wildlife refuges, parks, forests, trails, wild and scenic rivers and historic sites.
To ensure that future generations will always benefit and enjoy our public lands, please consider these priorities for America's Great Outdoors:
- Address Conservation at a Large Scale
- Protect our wilderness
- Improve Watersheds and Wildlife Habitat
- Connect people with Nature
- Provide Increased Access and Recreational Opportunities
- Fully Fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund
Thank you for your leadership in shaping a bold conservation strategy for the 21st century.
