One week removed from a very successful Great Outdoors America Week, which brought together over 200 outdoor enthusiasts from around the country, the need for continued advocacy of our public lands is even more apparent.
America's public lands are instrumental in protecting and connecting our wild areas to the communities they sustain. In order to assure that the benefits and opportunities our public lands provide are a key component of America's Great Outdoors, The Wilderness Society recommends that the Obama Administration identify 10 diverse landscapes across the country as pilot projects for fully implementing this bold and critical Intiative.
