From May 4-10, we are celebrating the deserts, mountains, canyons, forests, lakes, streams, and trails that make Arizona such an incredible place to live, work, play and explore. Today, we are encouraging you to stand up for public lands, which are currently being threatened. The time for you to take action is NOW.

There are members of Congress pushing for the selling of public lands to cover tax cuts and federal expenses. These lands belong to all Americans, and we have been entrusted as stewards of these special places. We need to stand together as a community to tell our elected representatives that public lands should remain in public hands for the benefit of past, present and future generations; wildlife; our outdoor recreation economy; community health and wellness; and for the land itself.
