Sign Now: Stop Public Land Sell-Offs

Special interest groups are pushing to sell public lands to private buyers, threatening the places where we hike, camp, and make lifelong memories. This threat is real: Proponents of land sell-offs tried to move this forward with two votes in Congress last year. Urge Congress to pass the Public Lands in Public Hands Act to keep our shared public lands open to everyone.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Quiz: Are You Ready to Stand Up for National Parks?

America's national parks may seem complete, but many aren't. Hidden within park boundaries are millions of acres of privately owned land. How much do you know about these vulnerable gaps within our national parks? Take our quiz to find out—and see if you can score 5/5!

CAN YOU SCORE 5/5?

A Win for Parks—Because You Showed Up

Good news: Congress held the line for public lands in its FY26 spending bill—rejecting harmful cuts to key conservation programs and fully funding the Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership (ORLP). Thanks to TPL advocates like you, this milestone will bring more parks and green spaces to communities that need them the most. Thanks for showing up!
