Every summer, one family turns the Fremont-Winema National Forest in Oregon into their own Olympic arena—a tradition that’s lasted for decades. Public lands make these cherished moments possible and federal funding ensures trails and campsites are maintained, habitats protected and wild places remain open for all. And Americans overwhelmingly agree—89% say that even with budget challenges, funding to safeguard land, air, and water should never be cut. When we defend public lands, we are protecting the places where families come together.
