America’s Public Lands Are Not For Sale

Our country’s treasured public lands and waters, including national parks and monuments, are the backbone of our nation. The new administration and anti-public lands Congressmembers have set a course for the largest public lands sell off in the country’s history. This will lock the public out of cherished outdoor spaces and decimate the $640-billion recreation economy along with millions of acres of nature that support clean air and water, wildlife habitats, and the health of our communities and climate.

Your Voice is Needed NOW.

Join us in sending a loud and clear message that these protected outdoor spaces are invaluable and that the majority of people across the political spectrum support honoring the integrity of these conservation and cultural designations - now and for future generations.

Conservation Lands Foundation is pursuing the greatest opportunity to stop the decline of nature and wildlife in the U.S. Join the community-based movement to protect America’s public lands and a better future for all.

We’re the only nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting and expanding America’s National Conservation Lands – 38 million acres (and growing!) of public lands, rivers, and trails.

Join us to protect what matters!



85% of the largest acreage of U.S. public lands – managed by the Bureau of Land Management – is currently available for mining and development.

The U.S. needs to protect millions more acres as National Conservation Lands to ensure a healthy and prosperous future for all.

We and our Friends Grassroots Network of more than 80 community-based organizations are working to protect at-risk landscapes across the western U.S.
