‼️Save for ACTION STEPS ‼️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The recent political move against our public lands left me feeling overwhelmed, stressed, helpless and angry. I realized that the only way out of this downward spiral of feeling helpless is to TAKE ACTION.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m not going to fear monger you about what visiting our national parks will look like with further reduced resources - there’s enough information out there on this. But I will give you some concrete steps toward advocating for the protection of our public lands. If protecting our natural spaces is important to you, here’s what you can do:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✅ Call or email your representatives - demand funding and policies that protect public lands
✅ Sign petitions advocating for increased National Park Service funding
✅ Support organizations working to preserve and maintain public lands
✅ Educate yourself on Leave No Trace principles
✅ Volunteer to help maintain trails, clean up parks and educate visitors
✅ Follow the accounts below to learn more about what you can do to help
