Support Public Land Recreation Management Funding

Congress is currently working on the next fiscal year’s budget for agencies like the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, which collectively oversee nearly 440 million acres of public lands across the country. National forests, many national monuments, and vast swaths of other federal lands are home to thousands of miles of trails that we as runners rely on. The agencies that manage these trails and landscapes have been chronically underfunded for recreation management despite record high visitation rates. As the House of Representatives and Senate work through the appropriations process, take a moment to reach out to your members of Congress to ask that they ensure that the U.S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management are properly funded.
