I was dismayed to read Congress is considering selling public lands. National parks, monuments, and scenic trails are part of our heritage and our history. They belong to all of us and should stay that way.
If you’ve taken your kids on vacation to Acadia National Park, enjoyed hiking in the woods, been able to go hunting or fishing beyond your own property, seen the beauty of Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument, marveled at the Grand Canyon, or benefited from the outdoor recreation economy, like I and my family have, now is the time to take speak up and speak out.
Keep our public lands public.
