Why we shouldn’t sell our national public lands
National public lands belong to all Americans. For hundreds of years, we've enjoyed our forests, rivers, wetlands and deserts. They should stay in public hands.
Keeping our forests healthy, whole and wild.
The trees that make up our forests are some of the oldest living things on Earth, many of them older than America itself. These forests provide crucial habitat for thousands of species.

Together we can protect our forests from road-building, logging, development and other threats.
