The Power of Community: Our Friends Grassroots Network

The protection and stewardship of the National Conservation Lands wouldn’t be possible without the dedicated efforts of local communities and tribes. Our Friends Grassroots Network plays a vital role in:

  • Advocating for strong protections and policies that safeguard these landscapes
  • Engaging volunteers in conservation and restoration efforts
  • Educating the public about the cultural, ecological, and recreational significance of these lands
  • Connecting people to their local public lands through events, partnerships, and hands-on involvement
