With election season bringing its fair share of tension, it’s uplifting to see so many people coming together to support our parks and public lands. This month, let’s take a deep breath and reconnect with nature! Join us in celebrating recent conservation wins, help get the Outdoors for All Act over the finish line, and kick off the season with our top winter wonderland destinations. ☃️ |

We're at a critical juncture for the Outdoors for All Act. If the Senate doesn't vote soon, we'll lose all our progress—requiring us to start over in the new year. That would mean losing precious time for communities that urgently need access to green spaces. Your voice can make the difference—urge your senators to vote and help ensure everyone has access to parks and nature! 🏔️ |
In an increasingly disconnected world, trails can connect us. Want some inspiration for which trails to tread next? Take our fun quiz and learn more about the trails you helped protect! |
