Act Now for Public Lands

Speak Up for Conservation

America's public lands belong to everyone and provide countless opportunities for recreation, conservation, and sustainable use. The Bureau of Land Management's Public Lands Rule helps ensure our ability to connect with nature remains for generations to come, but, right now, this critical rule is under threat.

Why the Public Lands Rule Matters

The Public Lands Rule guides the Bureau of Land Management to consider conservation, recreation, cultural resource protection, and sustainable use alongside development by providing long overdue guidance for the agency to make smart, science-based decisions about where and how different uses are permitted on the 245 million acres it stewards.

Despite receiving overwhelming public support (92% of all public comments submitted were in favor of its implementation), the Trump administration has announced its intent to rescind the Public Lands Rule. If that happens, the agency will lose essential tools to restore degraded lands, safeguard intact ecosystems, and respond to the growing pressures of drought, wildfire, and climate change–not to mention opening the door for industry to further exploit public lands and waters.

Take action: Tell the Bureau of Land Management you support keeping the Public Lands Rule in place. Add your voice today to support smart, balanced, and lasting stewardship.
