The photo you see is of Square Top Mountain above Green River Lakes. I took that photo on a day trip with my wife—it’s where I proposed to her. It’s public land.

My grandfather, a Forest Service agent for many years, used to bring my younger brother and me up there every year. That’s where I learned to love the land, to respect it, and to protect it. I’ve spent countless days in the mountains, deserts, rivers, lakes, and streams. I’ve harvested elk, deer, pronghorn, fish, and berries to feed my family. I’ve drank from its streams and slept under its stars.

On this land, I became a steward, a survivalist, a warrior, a champion, and a man.

It’s my land. It’s your land.
We must not allow future generations to lose out on this opportunity because of greed.

Please help me preserve these public lands—not only now, but forever.

America’s federal lands—our national forests, parks, wildlife refuges, and public ranges—belong to all of us. These lands are vital for recreation, conservation, hunting, fishing, clean water, biodiversity, and spiritual renewal. Selling them off for private gain threatens not only our environment but also the very idea of shared natural heritage.

Some elected officials and lobbyists are pushing to privatize these lands or transfer them to state governments that lack the resources to maintain them—often a backdoor to eventual sale and development. This will lead to locked gates, degraded ecosystems, loss of access, and irreversible damage.

We, the people, stand united in opposing:

The sale or transfer of federal public lands.
Legislation that undermines federal stewardship and protections.
Resource extraction policies that prioritize profit over preservation.
We urge our leaders to:

Strengthen protections for federal lands.
Invest in the responsible management of public lands.
Preserve open access for future generations.
Our public lands should be preserved, not sold off to the highest bidder. They are a birthright—not a real estate deal.

Sign your name and take a stand for the wild places that make America special.
