The BLM's Public Lands Rule is a smart and balanced land management framework that ensures lasting stewardship of these special places... so naturally, the Trump admin wants to repeal it.

📢 Tell the BLM you support keeping the Public Lands Rule in place!: advocacy.charityengine.net/Default.aspx...

Sen. Patty Murray pushes Wild Olympics bill — again - The Daily Chronicle On Tuesday, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Washington, vice chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, blocked an attempt on the Senate floor by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, to pass a package of public lands ...

Thank you @murray.senate.gov for continuing to fight for permanent protection of forests and rivers on the Olympic Peninsula through the #WildOlympics legislation!

This is a major victory for our public lands and a powerful reminder of what we can achieve together. Western voters have spoken loud and clear: our public lands are priceless, and we will fight to ensure they remain protected for generations to come.

Mike Lee's sweeping public lands sale blocked in Senate - Moab Sun News Utah Senator Mike Lee's ambitious plan to sell off vast tracts of public land has been blocked in the Senate. Learn why the Byrd Rule halted the proposal and what could happen next.

Hey, Senator Lee 📣 NO ONE wants your public lands sell-offs! We are very thankful to the Senate Parliamentarian who saw this latest scheme for what it truly is—an ideological attack, not a genuine effort to raise federal revenue.

Proposing to sell over 250 million acres of public land is outrageous—short-sighted, self-serving, and irreversible. These beloved places belong to all Americans, not the highest bidder to fulfill the whims of a political agenda. Contact your members of Congress, immediately!

🚨Yesterday, the Senate ENR Committee released budget bill text that mandates selling off 2.2 to 3.2 million acres of BLM and national forest land across 11 states—an unprecedented threat to our natural heritage.✊Urge your Senators to stand up for our public lands!

Even after overwhelming bipartisan opposition stripped a public lands sell-off provision in the House Bill *apparently* some in Congress have yet to receive the message 🙄🤬😒 Send a message to your Senators today telling them OUR public lands are NOT for sale! 👉 wawild.org/%f0%9f%9a%a8...

Its so important, now more than ever, to #recreateresponsibly and #leavenotrace! Let's do our best to help our NPS staff 💚

Public Lands Win: Sell-Offs Scrapped from Spending Bill! But It’s Not All Good News. - Washington Wild A provision that would've greenlit the sale of nearly 500,000 acres in Utah and Nevada was removed from the budget bill after strong opposition.

A testament to the powerful grassroots + grasstops efforts of public land advocates nationwide, this is a major win! But we're not out of the woods yet... As the budget bill heads to the Senate, public land supporters from both sides of the aisle must join forces to protect our lands & waters.

Our public lands are NOT FOR SALE!

What public lands are for: 🏕️🥾🚵‍♀️🎣🏄🧗🛶🌌⛷️
What public lands are NOT for: 💰💳📈

Some members of Congress want to sell *our* public lands to fund tax cuts for the rich. Tell them that these iconic landscapes—our parks & monuments, forests, rivers, shorelines, and last remaining wild places—are NOT for sale!

If there is no action prior to the April 6 deadline, WA Wild and others who want the land conserved will continue to lobby the city, state and Blue Fern for opportunities to keep this land in public hands, as the actual transfer will not be complete until July 13.

Thanks to the Spokesman for covering this story! Time is running out for @wadnr.bsky.social to do the right thing for trust beneficiaries, the local community, ecological health, and wildlife by transferring Thorpe to the Spokane Parks Dept under the TLT program.

In a letter sent today to @daveupthegrovecpl.bsky.social we argue the Thorpe sale approved by @wadnr.bsky.social should be canceled.
