An estimated 10-30% of staff at the Forest Service, National Park Service, and Bureau of Land Management have been laid off - which is having a big impact on the health of our public lands. Please help us protect our public lands and the workforce that keeps them safe, accessible, and cared for.
Led by Outdoor Alliance, 120 outdoor recreation organizations and businesses are calling on lawmakers and the Trump Administration to reverse staffing cuts at land management agencies. Signatories include a number of outdoor brands, advocacy groups, as well as a range of other local recreation organizations and outdoor industry businesses. In the past month, an estimated 10-30% of staff at the Forest Service (USFS), National Park Service (NPS), and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) have been laid off. “Outdoor recreation experiences depend on well-managed public lands, and these staffing cuts are already making it harder for people to access and enjoy the places they love,” said Louis Geltman, Vice President for Policy and Government Relations at Outdoor Alliance. Without adequate staffing, our experiences outside, the health of public lands, and the outdoor recreation economy will suffer. Join us in asking members of Congress to take urgent action to protect the workforce that keeps America’s public lands safe, accessible, and well cared for.
