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

A Win for Parks-Because You Showed Up

Good news: Congress held the line for public lands in its FY26

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.
